I like the story of the wind and the sun. I like that they are competing over who is stronger, and the "nicer" one wins. I think this would be a very easy story to replicate in the way that I like to tell my stories. I would just have it be two girls competing against one another as to who can have more friends. One girl goes off and demands that people be her friend and tries to threaten them. The other girl goes and offers meaningful friendship and value to peoples lives, and a year later the two girls come back together. The forceful one is miserable because all of her "friends" hate her and are mean to her in a very passive aggressive way, the other girl has many friends and is extremely joyful because she understands the value of kindness.
