風(fēng)和太陽(The Wind And The Sun)
One day the wind said to the sun, “Look at that man walking along the road. I can get his cloak off more quickly than you can.”
“We will see about that,” said the sun. “I will let you try first.”
So the wind tried to make the man take off his cloak. He blew and blew, but the man only pulled his cloak more closely around himself.
“I give up,” said the wind at last. “I cannot get his cloak off.” Then the sun tried. He shone as hard as he could. The man soon became hot and took off his cloak.
(有一天風(fēng)跟太陽說: “看看那個沿著路上走的人.我可以比你快讓他把披風(fēng)脫下來.)
(“我們等著看吧,”太陽說, “我讓你先試.)
(因此風(fēng)嘗試讓那個人把披風(fēng)脫下來.他用力地吹,可是那個人把披風(fēng)拉得更緊.)
(“我放棄了,”風(fēng)最后說, “我無法讓他把披風(fēng)脫下來.”然后由太陽試試看.他盡可能地曬他.不久,那個人很熱就把披風(fēng)脫下來了.)
