Aesop's Fables

#53 The Camel and Jupiter

The Camel, when he saw the Bull adorned with horns became envious and wished that he himself could obtain the same horns. He went to Jupiter and besought him to give him horns.

Jupiter, vexed at the request because the Camel was not satisfied with his size and strength of body and desired yet more, not only refused to give him horns, but even deprived him of a portion of his ears.
