In the story, the Wind and the Sun compete to make a traveller remove his cloak. The Wind’s bluster only makes the man clutch it tighter, while the Sun’s gentle warmth persuades him to shed it. The moral, gentle persuasion can win over brute strength.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wigfull Art \u0026 Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62535233372509,"sku":null,"price":900.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0930\/1832\/5341\/files\/hollar03.jpg?v=1762877576","url":"https:\/\/markbrownart.co.uk\/products\/wenceslaus-hollar-the-sun-and-the-wind-1665-original-17th-century-etching-from-aesop-s-fables","provider":"Mark Brown Fine Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
