伊索寓言故事之北风和太阳,这个故事告诉我们晓之以理胜于命之以令, 仁慈、温和与说服胜过强迫。这个故事还告诉我们,对孩子要太阳那样,用温暖去感化他们,让他们从中体会温暖;如果一味地强逼压制,这样,会使孩子感到有一种极强的心理压力,且物极必反,产生强逆的反抗心理。故事还告诉我们力量不代表一切。
08 The Wind and the Sun 北风与太阳
It is a cold winter morning and the Wind is blowing strongly.
Wind: Blow away! Blow away! Ha, ha, ha! Look at those trees! They are shaking.
The Wind blows stronger.
Wind: Blow away! Blow away! Look at those houses! They are also shaking. I am the strongest in the world.
The Wind blows and blows. The weather becomes colder and colder.
Wind: I can shake trees and houses. I can even blow them away. I am the strongest in the world.
The Sun comes along.
Sun: Hello there, Mr. Wind. It is very cold and windy today, isnt it?
Wind: Yes. I did it.
Sun: Really?You must be strong.
Wind: Yes. I am the strongest in the world.
Sun: You may be strong, but I am stronger.
Wind: Ha, ha, ha. You must be joking.
Sun: No, I am not. I am the strongest.
Wind: Well, then show me. What can you do? Can you blow away a tree?
The Wind blows away a tree.
Wind: See!
Sun: Wow! Thats great! I cant do that. But I can melt snow. And I can help flowers grow. I can also bring spring. I am the strongest in the world.
Wind: Thats nothing. I am the strongest in the world.
The Sun and the Wind keep arguing until a stranger walks by.
Wind: I have an idea, Mrs. Sun. Do you see that man?
Sun: The one wearing the blue coat?
Wind: Yes. Lets make a bet.
Sun: What kind of a bet?
Wind: Make him take off his coat. If you win, you are the strongest. If I win, I am the strongest.
Sun: That sounds interesting. If I win, stop blowing so hard.
Wind: I promise.
Sun: You go first.
Wind: Are you sure?
Sun: Of course.
Wind: Okay then. I will go first.
The Wind blows as hard as he can. But the harder the Wind blew, the more the man wrapped the coat around him.
Wind: Whats the matter? Why isnt the coat coming off?
Stranger: The wind is strong today. I am cold. Brrr..
Wind: Ill try harder.
Stranger: Achoo! It is getting colder. I better hold on to my coat.
Wind: Blow away coat! Blow away!
Sun: Its no use.
Wind: Ill try one last time.
Sun: This is your last chance.
Wind: Okay. I will blow harder.
The Wind blows as hard as he can, but the strangers coat doesnt blow away.
Sun: You are very strong, Mr. Wind. But sometimes strength is no use. Its my turn now. Ill try.
Wind: Go ahead. It wont be easy.
The Wind is a little worried.
Wind: What if she wins? No, that cant be.
The Sun shines gently on the Stranger.
Stranger: What happened to the wind? The sun is out now. It is getting warm. Gee, what a strange day!
The Stranger looks up at the Sun and fans himself.
Stranger: Its getting warmer. I cant stand it!
The Stranger starts loosening his coat button.
Wind: I dont understand. You didnt do anything.
Sun: Strength is not everything. Just watch.
The Stranger loosens all of his coat buttons. The Sun keeps shinning on him.
Stranger: I am still hot. Its like spring. I must take off my coat.
Wind: He is taking off his coat! I dont believe it. You didnt do anything.
Sun: Yes, I did. I gave him sunshine. I made him warm. I said strength is not everything.
Wind: You were right. Strength is not everything. You win. You are the strongest in the world.
Sun: Thank you. I cant blow away trees. But I can make people warm and happy. So they all love me.
Wind: From now on, I will blow gently.
Sun: And I will shine gently. Spring will come soon.
The Sun shone and the Wind blew gently. Spring was around the corner.
MORAL
Strength isnt everything.
