" He always remembers this story heard from our own Tayeb Saddiki about the quarrel between the person of the mountain and the person of the plain. Each one was claiming more beauty to its place. One day, the person of the plain went up to the mountain. The person of the mountain came out beaming and shouted: "Finally, you came to your senses." "No", answered the person of the plain. "So what are you doing here?" retorted the person of the mountain. "I just want to see the plain better."
