One day the Sun and the Wind were watching a man walk in the park. He was wearing a big, heavy coat.
"I'm so strong," said the Wind. "I can make that coat come off the man."
The Sun smiled. "Go ahead. Show me," said the Sun.
The wind began to blow. It blew and blew. It was so hard for the man to walk in the wind, but the Wind could not blow the coat off the man's body.
"Watch me," said the Sun.
The Sun shone bright and hot. Soon the man stopped walking. He wiped his forehead with his handkerchief. Then he took of his coat.
