The proud storm challenges the humble Sun.

This story happened many, many years ago.



It happened that there was a proud storm that scared the people, blowing off the the roofs of the houses, tearing out some trees with weak roots. Because of all that it was believed to be stronger than the Sun.



But the Sun was more humble and tranquil and only observed the storm.



One day, at the height of its pride the storm made a bet to the Sun wanting to see who was the strongest.



At that instant there on earth, a man was passing along the road.



“Do you see that man who goes with his cloak?” The storm said, “I bet I will be able to take his cloak from him” continued the storm.



Then the storm began to blow hard like a hurricane, blowing and blowing trying to take the cloak from the man but the stronger the storm blew, the stronger the man held onto his coat and wrapped it around him.



In view that could not get the cloak off of the man, in the end the proud storm grew tired, gave up and stopped blowing.



Then the Sun began now, very calmly and without making so much noise, sending warm solar rays gently out and the man started to sweat and not being able to hold so much heat with the cloak on, he took it off so as not to feel so hot.



And so it was that the most humble and quiet Sun was declared the victor in that bet, in front of the arrogant storm.
