高山昂首挺胸，十分高傲地向山脚的一个人说，“哼！你多么矮小，我多么高大！快匍伏在我面前吧！”这个人是一个攀登者，他打量了大山一眼，立即向上攀登。当他流出了许多汗水后，终于攀上了高山顶峰，于是回答高山说：“在攀登者的脚下，你永远是矮的。”
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.”
