Thousands of streams, rivers, streams and waterfalls originate high in the mountains. Therefore, the mountains became arrogant and boasted that they let down water from their ridges, filling the seas that lie at their feet.
“Hey, you empty tub,” the arrogant mountains said to the calm sea. - Can you imagine what will happen to your banks if the stormy rivers that originate in us do not fill you? You will become a dry pit - that’s all!
How did the sea respond to such boasting? Nothing, of course. He had too much to do to answer! Moisture needs to be sent into the sky so that it settles in the mountains, the clouds need to be filled with water, so that the same mountains that look down on the sea will receive rain.
