The Sun and The Wind

The wind always boasted of his mighty strength. The wind was of the view that fierceness, might, and strength always wins over gentleness. But the sun argued that gentleness and kindness are more important to get things done. The debate heated up. The wind challenged the sun for a test. 

A man was walking on a road. The wind said, "You try with your gentleness and I will use my strength to make that man take off his coat. Do you agree to test?"  

The sun consented. Then the wind began to blow the air with all its might. As the wind blew, the man who was walking grabbed his coat. The more the wind became fierce, the tighter was the grip on the coat. The wind blew with all its might causing a fierce storm. But, the man grabbed the coat even tighter. After a long effort, the wind got tired and gave up.

Now it was the sun's turn. The sun gently smiled. As the sun got brighter, the man felt hot and he took off his coat.

Moral: More things are accomplished with gentleness and kindness than strength and force.
