When man first saw the Camel, he was so frightened at his vast size that he ran away. After a time, perceiving the meekness¹ and gentleness of the beast's temper, he summoned courage enough to approach him. Soon afterwards, observing that he was an animal altogether deficient² in spirit, he assumed such

boldness as to put a bridle³ in his mouth, and to let a child drive him.

有一个人第一次见到骆驼的时候，看到骆驼巨大的体形，非常害怕以至于拔腿就跑。过了一段时间，他察觉到骆驼脾气温顺，就鼓起勇气靠近骆驼。这之后不久，他注意到骆驼是个一点精神都没有的动物，于是就大着胆子把一个龙头套在了骆驼的嘴上，然后让一个小孩子赶着他。
