204.The Lamp
A LAMP, soaked with too much oil and flaring brightly, boasted that it gave more light than the sun. Then a sudden puff of wind arose, and the lamp was at once blown out. Its owner lit it again, and said:
“Boast no more, but from now on be content to give your light in silence. Know that not even the stars need to be relit.”
