About this story
《北风和太阳》出自古希腊的《伊索寓言》（The North Wind and the Sun），讲北风和太阳比本事，看谁能让路人脱下外衣：北风越吹，路人裹得越紧；太阳一照，路人自己就脱了。这一版加入了当裁判的小白云，把一场打赌讲成了有来有回的比赛，北风输了之后还向太阳讨教。
What it teaches
温和的劝说往往比强硬的逼迫更管用。想让别人改变，硬来只会让人更抗拒，给人温暖和理解，对方才会心甘情愿。
Suits
4–9 岁
Tips for telling it
- 北风那段可以越讲越响、越讲越快，太阳那段放轻放慢，孩子一听就能感觉出两种“力量”的不同。
- 讲完问孩子：你劝小伙伴做一件事，是像北风一样，还是像太阳一样？
- 大一点的孩子可以聊到生活里：吼着让人听话，和好好商量，结果有什么不同。
