当然，这个故事是一个古老的寓言故事，讲述了风先生和太阳先生之间的竞争。
▶ The Story of Mr. Wind and Mr. Sun
从前，风先生和太阳先生打赌，看谁能够更快地让一个人脱下他的外衣。他们看到一个穿着厚厚的外套的旅行者路过，于是他们开始了比赛。
首先，风先生开始吹起他最强大的风。他用尽全力把旅行者的外套吹得瑟瑟发抖，但是旅行者只是更加紧紧地裹住他的外套。
太阳先生看到风先生没有成功，于是他也加入了比赛。他发出了温暖的阳光，并且很快就把旅行者的外套晒得非常热，以至于旅行者不得不脱下他的外套。
这时候，风先生意识到自己输掉了比赛，于是他黯然离去，留下太阳先生享受胜利的荣耀。
▶ Moral of the Story
这个故事告诉我们，有时候我们可以通过温柔的方法来解决问题，而不是采取强硬的手段。温暖和友善可以比强制更有效地实现我们的目标。
One day the wind said to the sun, “Look at that man walking along the road. I can get his cloak off more quickly than you can.”
“We will see about that,” said the sun. “I will let you try first.”
So the wind tried to make the man take off his cloak. He blew and blew, but the man only pulled his cloak more closely around himself.
“I give up,” said the wind at last. “I cannot get his cloak off.” Then the sun tried. He shone as hard as he could. The man soon became hot and took off his cloak.
(有一天风跟太阳说: “看看那个沿着路上走的人.我可以比你快让他把披风脱下来.)
(“我们等着看吧,”太阳说, “我让你先试.)
(因此风尝试让那个人把披风脱下来.他用力地吹,可是那个人把披风拉得更紧.)
(“我放弃了,”风最后说, “我无法让他把披风脱下来.”然后由太阳试试看.他尽可能地晒他.不久,那个人很热就把披风脱下来了.)
