A gentle retelling for listeners ages 3–5 of Aesop’s fable from The Aesop for Children (1919): the North Wind and the Sun argue over which is stronger, and a Traveler’s cloak decides it when the Wind’s howling blasts fail and the Sun’s gentle warmth succeeds.

Up in the sky, the North Wind and the Sun began to argue. Who was stronger, the Wind or the Sun? They could not agree.
“I am the stronger!” huffed the North Wind. “No, I am!” said the Sun. The Sun grew grumpy, and the Wind puffed and blustered, making loud, windy noise.
