Scene 1 · Beginner
De Wind en de Zon maakten ruzie over wie van hen het sterkst was. Toen zagen ze een reiziger op de weg aankomen. Hij droeg een mantel, een soort lange jas. De Zon had een idee om een einde aan de ruzie te maken.
The Wind and the Sun were arguing about which of them was stronger. Then they saw a traveler coming down the road. He was wearing a cloak, a kind of long coat. The Sun had an idea for putting an end to their argument.
‘Wie die reiziger zijn mantel kan laten uittrekken, is de sterkste,’ zei de Zon. ‘Begin jij maar.’
“Whoever can make that traveler take off his cloak is the strongest,” said the Sun. “You go first.”
