How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains!

One day the mountain greeted the sun, "Good morning, my friend. How are you today?"
The sun smiled at this, as the mountain was not always friendly in the morning.
"I am fine, my friend. How are you?"
"Lousy! Thanks for reminding me!" the mountain growled and then spit at the sun, for this was not a mountain, but a volcano!
The thing is, the sun isn't afraid of volcanoes. Ultimately, when volcanoes erupt, they burn themselves first and most.
There's an important lesson here. I don't know what it is, but it's here somewhere.
