The North Wind and the Sun had a quarrel about which of them was the stronger. While they were disputing, a traveler came along wrapped in a warm cloak.
北风和太阳争论谁的力量更强大。他们争执不下的时候，一个裹着暖和斗篷的旅人正好经过。
They agreed that the one who first made the traveler take off his cloak should be considered stronger than the other.
他们商定，谁能先让那位旅人脱下斗篷，谁就算更强的一方。
Then the North Wind blew as hard as he could, but the harder he blew, the more closely the traveler wrapped his cloak around him; and at last the North Wind gave up the attempt.
于是北风使出全力吹起狂风，可它吹得越猛，旅人就把斗篷裹得越紧；最后北风只好放弃了。
Then the Sun shone out warmly, and immediately the traveler took off his cloak.
接着太阳温暖地照耀起来，旅人立刻就脱下了斗篷。
Kindness affects more than severity.
温和胜过严厉。
