The Sun and the Wind made a wager. They were trying to see which one of them could make a fellow walking down the street take off his coat. The wind went first, and blew until he was blue in the face, (or blew in the face, or whatever,) but the harder the wind assailed him, the tighter the man drew his jacket around him.
Then it was the sun’s turn. He just beamed at the man and the continued warmth of the sun’s smile made the fellow peel the jacket right off. When you want to help someone come closer to Hashem, don’t be cold to him, or blow lots of air in his face. It will make him turn his back and cling more tightly to his beliefs. Instead, just love him, be kind, and when he’s ready, he’ll ask for help in taking off the jacket.
