The Wind and the Sun (A version of the tale by TheFableCottage.com) The wind and the sun are having a disagreement.
"I am the most powerful!" says the wind.
"No, I am the most powerful!" says the sun.
"I can blow trees to the ground!" brags the wind.
"I can push ships across the ocean.
I can make hurricanes and tornadoes!" "Is that right?" replies the sun.
"Well, I can melt all the snow on the mountains.
I can dry up an entire lake.
I can make a pavement so hot that it cooks an egg!" Just then, they see a man walking along the road in his winter jacket .
"Let's have a contest to see who is more powerful," says the wind.
