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 I am! I am so high and big. Be quick and prostrate yourself before me!" he said to a man who was standing 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."
