Synopsis

The Sun is annoyed to see the North Wind causing chaos with its icy blasts, so challenges it to a contest to see which of them is strong enough to take the coat off a young man who is walking through the mountains. The Wind thinks this will be easy, so blows with all its might; but this only serves to make the man pull his coat more tightly around himself. When the Sun has its turn, it shines warmly and the man removes his coat.
