The Monkey And The Camel
Aesop Fable: The Monkey And The Camel
The beasts of the forest gave a splendid entertainment at
which the Monkey stood up and danced. Having vastly delighted
the assembly, he sat down amidst universal applause.
The Camel, envious of the praises bestowed on the Monkey
and desiring to divert to himself the favor of the guests,
proposed to stand up in his turn and dance for their amusement.
He moved about in so utterly ridiculous a manner
that the Beasts, in a fit of indignation, set upon him with
clubs and drove him out of the assembly.
It is absurd to ape our betters.
