254. The Monkey And The Camel

The beasts of the forest gave a spl
endid entertainment, at which the Monkey stood up and danced. Having vastlydelighted the assembly, he sat down amidstuniversalapplause. The Camel, envious of the praises bestowed on the Monkey, and desirous to div
ert to himself the favour 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.

It is absurd to ape our betters.
254. 猴子和骆驼
森林里的野兽们开了一个盛宴,猴子在会中站起来跳舞。 它使得全场快乐不已;最后在大家的喝采声中,坐了下来。 骆驼艳羡大家赞美猴子,自己也想获得宾客们的称赞,轮到它时,也就立刻站起来跳舞,想博取他们的欢心。 它一举一动显得那么可笑,以致野兽们非常生气,用棍棒打它,将它赶出会场。
仿效上位的人,是荒谬的。
