Translation (Htoi San) This story is about the Sun and the wind. A long time ago, the Sun and the wind competed with each other for their abilities. "Let's contest each other." One said, and the other agreed, "Alright, sure." Then they challenged one another. "How are we going to compete?" One asked, and the other replied, "Do you see that man over there?" "That man wears a thick jacket." "If one of us can take that thick jacket from him, that one will be the most powerful in the world." After that, they started their competition. So the wind started blowing heavily. Despite the wind blowing hard and heavy, the man did not take off his jacket. Moreover, he wore more clothes on him. So the wind lost the competition and said, "My friend Sun, I lost it. It is your turn now." The Sun shone brightly, and the man took off his clothes as it was so hot. "Now, do you see it? The man takes off his jacket because of my ability." The Sun won the race. This short story ends here. Transcription (La Ring) Jan hte nbung maumwi re.
