00:00Hello, kids. Welcome to Fabulous Fables, where little stories have big lessons.
00:05Today, we're going to hear a wonderful story about an extraordinary competition between the wind and the sun.
00:11Who do you think will win? Let's find out.
00:15Once upon a time, on a pleasant spring day, the wind was having a conversation with his old friend the
00:21sun.
00:21All of a sudden, he said something strange.
00:24Well, you do know that I'm stronger than you, right?
00:28The sun smiled and replied calmly.
00:31Why would you say that, my friend? Both of us have our strengths and weaknesses.
00:36So it's hard to determine who is more powerful.
00:40What do you mean by that? Are you trying to say that I'm not powerful? The wind asked angrily.
00:47Calm down, my friend. That's not what I meant.
00:50All I'm saying is that it isn't good to be arrogant, the sun explained.
00:54Feeling offended, the wind challenged the sun.
00:58Very well. Let's have a contest right now to see who is stronger.
01:02As he said this, the wind noticed a traveler passing by.
01:06The traveler was wearing a coat and walking pleasantly along a road, winding through a tranquil meadow.
01:12Look, there's a man over there. Let's see who can make him take off his coat faster, the wind said
01:18excitedly.
01:20All right, my friend. Let's do it, the sun agreed.
01:23The wind went first and blew softly at the traveler.
01:27It made the man's coat move a little.
01:29Ha ha ha! See what I can do with just a little effort, he boasted.
01:33Now let me show you my true power.
01:35The wind blew more fiercely, causing the traveler's coat to flap vigorously in the air.
01:41The harder the wind blew, the more tightly he clung to his coat.
01:46Soon, the traveler began to feel cold and struggled to walk.
01:50He sat on a tree stump on the roadside and buttoned up his coat.
01:54Tired and disappointed, the wind conceded that he couldn't remove the man's coat.
02:00Then, he turned toward the sun and muttered,
02:03Okay, it's your turn. Let's see if you can do better than me.
02:07The sun didn't say anything, and smiled at the traveler with a little warmth.
02:12The man was surprised at the sudden change in weather, but he was glad that the wind had settled down.
02:18Feeling more comfortable, he got up and started walking again.
02:22That's it? That's all you can do?
02:25His clothes didn't move at all.
02:27Not even a little bit, the wind mocked.
02:30Unperturbed, the sun looked at the wind and said,
02:34I'm not done yet, my friend.
02:35Now let me turn it up a little.
02:37He started shining brighter, but his beams were still gentle.
02:41The traveler felt warmer and warmer.
02:44Before long, he began to sweat.
02:46At last, it got so hot that he decided to remove his coat.
02:49With his coat off, he felt cool and relaxed, and continued his journey with a smile on his face.
02:56The sun was declared the winner.
02:58The wind was surprised at the outcome of the contest, but he accepted his defeat.
03:03Wow, my friend, that's impressive, he exclaimed.
03:07I guess I underestimated what gentleness can do.
03:11I thought using force is the only way to get things done in this world, but you proved me wrong.
03:18Happy to have enlightened his friend, the wise sun said,
03:21Yes, warm persuasion can sometimes be mightier than the strongest force.
03:27The moral of the wind and the sun is,
03:29a gentle approach is often more effective than brute strength.
03:34Be kind and gentle, kiddos.
