Aesop
In this classic fable, the North Wind and the Sun argue over who is stronger. To settle it, they test their power on a traveler wrapped in a cloak. The North Wind blows hard, but the traveler only holds on tighter. Then the Sun shines warmly, and the traveler soon removes the cloak on his own. Simple, memorable, and full of charm, this story shows that kindness and gentle persuasion can work better than force.
