Note:


I'm using X-SAMPA for phonetic notation, with the following 
deviations:  ['] and [,] are used for primary and secondary
stress, rather than the standard ["] and [%].



English Source Text:


The north wind and the sun were disputing which was the stronger, 
when a traveller came along wrapped in a warm cloak. They agreed 
that the one who first succeeded in making the traveller take his 
cloak off should be considered stronger than the other. 

Then the north wind blew as hard as he could, but the more he blew 
the more closely did the traveller fold his cloak around him; and 
at last the north wind gave up the attempt. 

Then the sun shone out warmly, and immediately the traveller took 
off his cloak. And so the north wind was obliged to confess that 
the sun was the stronger of the two.
