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.

Moral: We should not do something just because we're driven by envy.
Reflection: When the camel saw how the monkey was praised, he was envious, so he also danced, though he never really can. In life, we should not do things out of envy. Envy forces us to do things we don't usually do, or things we can't do.
