Besedilo
Severni veter in sonce
The North Wind and the Sun were disputing which was stronger. They agreed to award the victory to whichever of them could make a traveler take off his clothes. The North Wind went first, blowing fiercely; but when the man clutched his clothing tight, he blew harder still. The man, suffering all the more from the cold, put on extra clothing, until the North Wind grew weary and yielded his turn to the Sun. At first the Sun shone gently. Then, as the man took off his extra garments, the Sun steadily increased the heat, until the traveler could bear it no longer and, stripping off his clothes, went to bathe in a flowing river.
The fable shows that persuasion is often more effective than force.

Βορέας καὶ Ἥλιος περὶ δυνάμεως ἤριζον· ἔδοξε δὲ αὐτοῖς ἐκείνῳ τὴν νίκην ἀπονεῖμαι, ὃς ἂν αὐτῶν ἄνθρωπον ὁδοιπόρον ἐκδύσῃ. Καὶ ὁ Βορέας ἀρξάμενος σφοδρὸς ἦν· τοῦ δὲ ἀνθρώπου ἀντεχομένου τῆς ἐσθῆτος, μᾶλλον ἐπέκειτο. Ὁ δὲ, ὑπὸ τοῦ ψύχους καταπονούμενος ἔτι μᾶλλον, καὶ περιττοτέραν ἐσθῆτα προσελάμβανεν, ἕως ἀποκαμών ὁ Βορέας τῷ Ἡλίῳ μετὰ τοῦτο παρέδωκε. Κἀκεῖνος τὸ μὲν πρῶτον μετρίως προσέλαμψε· τοῦ δὲ ἀνθρώπου τὰ περισσὰ τῶν ἱματίων ἀποτιθεμένου, σφοδρότερον τὸ καῦμα ἐπέτεινε, μέχρις οὐ πρὸς τὴν ἀλέαν ἀντέχειν μὴ δυνάμενος, ἀποδυσάμενος ποταμοῦ ῥέοντος ἐπὶ λουτρὸν ἀπῄει.
Ὁ λόγος δηλοῖ, ὅτι πολλάκις τὸ πείθειν τοῦ βιάζεσθαι ἀνυτικώτερόν ἐστι.
