Li Nordic Vente e li Sole disputat pri qui eset li plu potenti, e concordat ke lo debe eser declarat li victore, li ke pote primi desvesti ad un viajere de toti sui vestimentes. Primvez li Nordic Vente probat sui fortie, e suflat kun toti sui potentie, ma kam plu potenti sui suflates, tam plu fortim li Viajere se envelopat kun sui mante, uski per fine, resignanti omni esperantie pro victorie, li Vente demandat ad li Sole pro ke lo proba sui fortie. Li Sole subitim luminat kun toti sui calorositate.Tam tosti kam li Viajere sentit sui geniali radies, lo desvesti se de un vestimente posti altri, e per fine, totalim vinciti per li calorositate, desvestit se completim e baniat se in un parvi rivere ke traversat sui vie.
THE NORTH WIND and the Sun disputed as to which was the most powerful, and agreed that he should be declared the victor who could first strip a wayfaring man of his clothes. The North Wind first tried his power and blew with all his might, but the keener his blasts, the closer the Traveler wrapped his cloak around him, until at last, resigning all hope of victory, the Wind called upon the Sun to see what he could do. The Sun suddenly shone out with all his warmth. The Traveler no sooner felt his genial rays than he took off one garment after another, and at last, fairly overcome with heat, undressed and bathed in a stream that lay in his path.
