Aesop - The Camel lyrics

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 a**umed such boldness as to put a bridle in his mouth, and to let a child drive him. Use serves to overcome dread.
