Scene 1 · Beginner
Il vento e il sole discutevano: chi dei due era più forte? A un tratto hanno visto un uomo che camminava lungo la strada con un mantello addosso. Il sole ha avuto un'idea per decidere chi era il più forte.
The wind and the sun were arguing about which of them was stronger. Suddenly, they saw a man walking along the road with a cloak on. The sun had an idea to decide which of them was stronger.
«Vediamo chi riesce a far togliere il mantello a quell'uomo», ha detto. «Chi ci riesce è il più forte. Comincia tu.»
“Let’s see who can get that man to take off his cloak,” he said. “Whoever succeeds is the stronger one. You go first.”
