Read the text and answer the question below:

The Sun and the Wind

The Wind was very proud of its power and thought he is the strongest in the world. The wind challenges the sun with a bet. The challenge was to get a traveler, who was walking through the field below, to take his coat off. The first one to get the man’s coat off would be declared the winner. The wind started blowing on the man, but the man held on to his jacket tightly and kept walking forward. The wind blew even harder and kept trying to blow the jacket off him. But the stronger the wind blew, the tighter the man held his coat. After a while the wind was too tired that he couldn’t blow anymore. As soon as he gave up the sun came forward shone brightly over the man. The traveler was suddenly feeling hot; so he undid his buttons one by one. The sun kept shining. The man felt too hot that he took off his jacket and threw it aside. The wind was so embarrassed, but he learnt an important lesson. When you are gifted with a talent or power it must not make you arrogant and proud.

What was the bet between the Sun and the Wind?
