-- A Man Is Taller Than a Mountain
A mountain was holding up its head and throwing its chest. "Oh, how short you are! But what of great stature 1 I am! I am so high and big. Be quick and prostrate 2 yourself before me!" he said to a man who was standing 3 at the foot.
The man was a climber. He looked up at the mountain and started to climb up immediately. Finally he climbed to the top of the mountain with a good sweat. Then he replied to the mountain, "At the feet of a climber, you are always short."
