“We will see about that,” said the sun.“I will let you try first.”
So the wind tried to make the man take off his cloak.He blew and blew,but the man only pulled his cloak more closely around himself.
“I give up,” said the wind at last.“I cannot get his cloak off.” Then the sun tried.He shone as hard as he could.The man soon became hot and took off his cloak.
