One day many years ago the sun and the wind got into a big fight just like how you and your sister get into. Each said that he was stronger than the other. To see who was stronger, the sun and the wind challenged each other to strip the clothes off the first passerby.

Soon there came along a man. The wind puffed with all the air in its lungs; but the more he blew, the more the man drew his clothes tight around him. Feeling a bit cold, he even put on a warm cloak.

Then came the turn of the sun. He didn't do anything so strenuous; all he did was shine. And gradually the man felt hotter and hotter, until he took off all his clothes to go for a swim.

Which just goes to show that gentle persuasion is more effective than violence.
