This text, one of Aesop's fables, will be used often in the MSc Voice Tech course when you are participating in speech related activities. If you're interested in why, see [[wikipedia:The_North_Wind_and_the_Sun|here]]. : ''The North Wind and the Sun were disputing which was the stronger, when a traveler came along wrapped in a warm cloak.'' : ''They agreed that the one who first succeeded in making the traveler take his cloak off should be considered stronger than the other.'' : ''Then the North Wind blew as hard as he could, but the more he blew the more closely did the traveler fold his cloak around him;'' : ''and at last the North Wind gave up the attempt. Then the Sun shined out warmly, and immediately the traveler took off his cloak.'' : ''And so the North Wind was obliged to confess that the Sun was the stronger of the two.''
