Bhí an ghaoth aduaidh 's an ghrian ag aragóint le chéile ag iarraidh a dhéanamh amach cé acu den bheirt a ba threise nuair a tháinig taistealaí an beallach agus clóca te á chaitheamh aige. D'aontaigh siad (sa deireadh) gur an té ba threise den bheirt an té ba luaithe a dhéanfeadh ar an taistealaí a chlóca a bhaint dó. Ansin shéid an ghaoth aduaidh chomh láidir tréan is a thiocfadh leis, ach dá mhéid dar shéid sé, sé ba mhó a theann an taistealaí a chlóca air fhéin; agus sa deire stad an ghaoth aduaidh den iarracht. Ansin lonnraigh an ghrian go te, agus bhain an taistealaí a chlóca dó láithreach bonn. Agus b'éigean don ghaoth aduaidh a admháil a gurbh í 'n ghrian a ba láidre den bheirt. |

The North Wind and the Sun were disputing which was the stronger, when a traveller came along wrapped in a warm cloak. They agreed that the one who first succeeded in making the traveller take his cloak off should be considered stronger than the other. Then the North Wind blew as hard as he could, but the more he blew the more closely did the traveller fold his cloak around him; and at last the North Wind gave up the attempt. Then the Sun shone out warmly, and immediately the traveller took off his cloak. And so the North Wind was obliged to confess that the Sun was the stronger of the two. |
