今天的故事比較簡短，但卻蘊含著一定的道理。故事講述了風和太陽打賭看誰能讓一位行人更快速地脫下大衣，他們用了不同的手段，那這場賭局到底是誰贏了呢？一起來看一下吧。

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.

風想脫掉行人的大衣，他用力地吹，但行人因為感到寒冷更加拽緊了衣服，而太陽只是照耀著行人，卻使他自己脫掉了衣服。讀完這個故事，你有什么感受呢？這個故事說明了勸說往往比強迫更為有效。曉之以理勝于命之以令， 仁慈、溫和與說服勝過強迫。用溫和的方式更容易達到目的。待人處事不是給人壓力、給人逼迫就能成功，就能獲勝，使用暴力，是無法令人心服口服的，反而是要給人溫暖、尊重，讓人心生歡喜、心悅誠服，才是勝利者。
