The Wind and the Sun

Cast: the narrator, the man, the Wind, the Sun.

Scene One (the narrator, the Wind, the Sun)

Narrator: One bright day in spring the Wind meets the Sun.

Wind: Hello, my friend! How are you?

Sun: I'm fine, dear Wind, thank you. I love spring. In spring I'm strong and happy.

Wind: Strong? Do you know that I'm stronger than you, Sun?

Sun: No, you are not, I am stronger than you, a lot stronger.

Narrator: They don't know who is right but they want to know it. Then the Sun has an idea.

Scene Two (the narrator, the Wind, the Sun, the man)

Sun: I have an idea, Wind.

Wind: Well, what's your idea?

Sun: Can you see that man down there? He has a warm coat on. Can you make him take off his coat?

Wind: Yes, I can do that. It's very easy. Now you can see that I am stronger than you, Sun.

(The Wind begins blowing.)

Narrator: So the Wind begins to blow. It blows, and blows, and blows. But what's the result?

Man: Oh! How cold that wind is! And how strong! I'm happy I have this warm coat on.

Narrator: The man doesn't take off his coat. More than that, he puts on his scarf and a hat. Now the Wind begins to blow stronger. The man can't stand on his feet, but he doesn't take off his coat.

Man (shaking): I am so cold!

Wind: No, Sun, I can't make the man take off his coat. Now you try.

Narrator: The Sun smiles and begins to shine in the sky.

Sun (performing magic): It's getting warmer and warmer. Now it is hot.

Narrator: The man is very hot in his warm coat. He opens up his coat, takes off his scarf and his hat. As the Sun gets brighter and hotter he takes off his coat.

Man (taking off his things): It's a warm sunny day, I love this weather.

Wind: OK, Sun, you win.

Sun: Kindness works better than force.

Narrator: Yes, kindness works better than force. Think about it.
