The North Wind and the Sun | 北风与太阳

English Original

The North Wind and the Sun disputed which was the more powerful. They agreed that the victor would be the one who could sooner strip a traveler of his clothes. They waited until a traveler came by. However, the traveler had been indiscreet enough to stay overnight at a summer hotel and had no clothes.


中文翻译

北风与太阳争论谁更强大。他们约定,谁能更快地让一位旅行者脱下衣服,谁就是胜利者。他们一直等到一位旅行者路过。然而,这位旅行者行事不够谨慎,竟在一家避暑旅馆过夜,因此身上没有穿衣服。
