“I am a mountain, so very high, I can reach way up to the sky, the Torah should be given on me, ’cause I am as tall as can be, you see.”
“Oh, no! –
I am much taller than you, and there are so many things I can do, the Torah should be given on me, ’cause I am as great as can be.”
The little Har Sinai just stood there and sighed, “I know I’m not tall, I know I’m not wide, the Torah can’t be given on me, ’cause I’m a plain mountain”, he said, simply.
From all the mountains, Hashem chose Sinai, because he did not hold himself high, he had such simple and humble ways, and from this we learn that humbleness pays.
