Translating the North Wind to the Sun

There's a little bit of sort of cultural stuff going into just that phrase, the idea of how do you welcome someone? Would you necessarily use the same phrase, welcoming someone to your house, or thanking them for listening to a show or seeing a show? Right. And the Babel story is stylistically a little strange. It probably depends on what translation you choose. If it's King James version, it's definitely going to be a little weird - particularly for some of our listeners who are not native speakers of English. But the sun in the north wind is a fabe one of Isop's fables, and there are lots and lots of those that are very manageable sizes.
