FableNº 306

The Monkey and the Camel

At an assembly of the beasts a monkey stood up and danced. He was much appreciated and applauded by all present. An envious camel wanted to win the same praise. He stood up and tried to dance too; but he cut so many capers that the animals, indignant, drove him out with blows of a stick.

*Envy makes people attempt what lies beyond their ability.
