The Wind and the Sun 英文作文

The Wind and the Sun
The wind and the sun were once arguing about which of then was the stronger. As they could not agree, they decided to arrange a contest.
“You see that traveler down there,” said the wind. “Whichever of us makes him take off his cloak is the stronger. Do you agree? ”
“That seems fair to me,” said, the sun. “You try first.”
The wind began to blow with all his strength. Storm clouds raced across the sky and trees twisted in the icy gale, leaves whirled all around and great branches cracked and splintered. As the wind blew more and more strongly, the traveled wrapped his cloak closely round him, gripping it tightly in his hands.
Then the sun appeared from behind one of the storm clouds .The cold air grew warm and soft and the traveler looked up, surprised at the sudden change in the weather. As the sun rose higher and higher in the sky his rays grew stronger until at midday the traveler could stand the heat no longer, throwing off his heavy cloak he lay down in the shade of a tree to sleep.
“I think that proves who is strongest,” said the sun. But the wind had crept away to hide.
Notice:
Kindness and gentleness are often more effective than force.
