The Latin version of the fable first appeared centuries later in Avianus, as De Vento et Sole (Of the wind and the sun, Fable 4);[REF] early versions in English and Johann Gottfried Herder's poetic version in German (Wind und Sonne) also gave it as such.
Victorian versions of the fable give the moral as "Persuasion is better than force", but it had been put in different ways at other times.
