The Wind and the Sun (2)

風與太陽 (2)

The wind agreed to go first. He blew hard at the man, but it was no use. The man became cold and held onto his coat with both hands.

Then it was the sun's turn. He came out from behind a cloud and shone gently down on the man. The man smiled and took off his coat to enjoy the warm sunshine.

"You see?" asked the sun. "Kindness and gentleness are stronger than anything in the world."

風同意先開始。他對那個男人猛力地吹，可是卻徒勞無功。那個男人覺得很冷，用雙手緊緊揪著外套。

接著，輪到了太陽，他從雲層後露臉，溫和地照耀著那個男人。那個男人露出笑臉並脫下他的外套，享受著溫暖的陽光。

太陽說：「看到了吧？仁慈與和善比世上任何事物都有力量。」
