The Wind and The Sun

| Wind and Sun |
One day the sun and the tempest were talking to each other. The tempest was very proud of her strength. She was saying to sun: "I can blow anything which I wish to. When I blow I uproot large trees."
 |
| The wind and the sun are talking to each other. |
By saying this the tempest looked at a traveller who was going, wrapping a blanket around him. The tempest said at once. The sun brother! Are you seeing this traveller?
 |
| Wrapped in a blanket, the man is going. |
I can compel him to put off his blanket, If I wish to do so whereas if you want to do so you would require enough time." The sun smiled to listen to that and spoke: "O wind! One should not be proud of one's strength. Everything is not possible with power. You would not be able to compel that man to put off his blanket." The tempest got furious and shouted: "Ok if it is so let's decide it right now."
 |
| The tempest blew towards the man with full strength. |
By saying this the tempest blew towards the man with full strength. When the man felt cold in fast wind, he wrapped the blanket even more tightly. When the wind started blowing more furiously the man sat down and wrapped the blanket over his head too. The tempest tried hard but failed. She went to sun with long face. The sun spoke: "Sister tempest! I had said everything was not possible with the use of power.
 |
| See now I show you how to make this man compel to put off his blanket. |
See now I show you how to make this man compel to put off his blanket. But not using power rather with kindness...." By saying this the sun started smiling. At sun's smiling his heat rose. The man who had wrapped the blanket at feeling cold with wind, now he put off the blanket as he felt hot. Now the sun had won. This story tells us that we should treat people with love to take work from them and not with power. Love can win hearts. Love is such a drop which can make hole even in stone.
