Wind and Sun

The north wind and the sun argue with each other endlessly about which one has more energy. They decided that whoever could make a pedestrian take off his clothes would win. The north wind blew violently from the beginning. Pedestrians on the road wrapped themselves tightly in their clothes. Seeing this, the wind blew even harder. Pedestrians were shivering from the cold, so they added more clothes. The wind got tired and gave way to the sun. The sun first shed its gentle rays on the pedestrians, who took off their extra clothes. Then the sun shined its strong rays on the earth. The pedestrians began to sweat profusely. Gradually, they couldn't bear it anymore, so they took off their clothes and jumped into the river next to them to take a bath.

This story shows that persuasion is often more effective than coercion
