The Camel
|
|
WHEN MAN first saw the Camel, he was so frightened at his vast size that he ran away. After a time, perceiving the
meekness and gentleness of the beast's temper, he summoned courage enough to approach him. Soon afterwards, observing
that he was an animal altogether deficient in spirit, he assumed such boldness as to put a bridle in his mouth, and to
let a child drive him.
Use serves to overcome dread.
(from Aesop's Fables, translated by George Townsend)
