      The Lamp


There was a Lamp which was 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 immediately extinguished.

 Its owner lit it again, and said:

"Boast no more, but henceforth be content to give the light in silence. Know that not even the stars need to be relit"
