Isang araw nag-away ang hangin at araw.
“Wala ka sa kalingkingan ko,” sabi ng hangin
“Hindi!” sabi ng araw.
Maya-maya, may dumaan na isang tao, “Ang ganda ng balabal niya,” sabi ng hangin.
“Oo nga ang ganda di ba,” sabi ng araw.
“Mainit ba iyan?”
“Oo, at makakatulong ito sa problema ninyo,” sabi ng tao.
“Ano ang ibig mong sabihin,” sabi nila.
“Ang naisip ko, kung sino ang makakapagpatanggal nitong balabal ang pinakamalakas,” sabi niya.
“Ah sige ba,” sabi ng hangin. “Sinong mauuna, ikaw o ako na?” sabi niya.
“Ikaw na lang,” sabi ng araw.
Ibinigay ng hangin ang lahat ng lakas na kaya niya subalit mas hinigpitan lang ng tao ang balabal niya sa kanya.
Itinodo ng araw ang kanyang pagsikat hanggang sa tanggalin ng tao ang kanyang balabal sa kanya.
“Ayan wala nang problema,” sabi niya.
“Sige, mauna na ako sa inyo.”

One day, the wind and sun fought.
​
“You are not on the same level as me,” the wind said.
​
“No!” the sun said.
​
Few minutes later, a man passed by. “His cover is beautiful,” the wind said.
​
“Yes, indeed it is beautiful,” the sun said.
​
“Is that hot?”
​
“Yes and this will help with your problem,” the man said.
​
“What do you mean?” both of them said.
​
“I thought, whoever between the two of you was able to remove this cover is the strongest,” he said.
​
“Oh alright” the wind said. “Who will go first, you or me? the wind said.
​
“You go,” the sun said.
The wind gave all the strength that he has but the man tightened his cover on his body.
​
The sun maximized its sunshine until the man removed his cover on his body.
​
“There. There is no problem anymore” he said.
​
“Alright, I will go now.”
