The Buddha's (very) first teaching

The Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta (The Setting in Motion of the Wheel of Dhamma) is usually considered to be the Buddha's first teaching after his awakening at the foot of the Bodhi tree. But it was not the first attempt he made at conveying to another human being what he'd discovered. This is my own rendering of his first utterance as an enlightened being (pilfered from a number of scholarly translations).
