Besedilo
Kamela
When a camel was first seen, people were frightened and fled, awestruck by its size. But as time passed and they came to see its gentle nature, they grew bold enough to approach it. Gradually realizing that the creature had no temper at all, they came to hold it in such contempt that they even put a bridle on it and let children drive it.
The fable shows that familiarity greatly softens the fearsome aspect of things.

Ὅτε πρῶτον κάμηλος ὤφθη, οἱ ἄνθρωποι φοβηθέντες καὶ τὸ μέγεθος καταπλαγέντες ἔφευγον. Ὡς δὲ χρόνου προϊόντος συνεῖδον αὐτῆς τὸ πρᾷον, ἐθάῤῥησαν μέχρι τοῦ προσελθεῖν. Αἰσθόμενοι δὲ κατὰ μικρὸν τὸ ζῶον ὡς χολὴν οὐκ ἔχει, εἰς τοσοῦτον καταφρονήσεως ἦλθον, ὥστε καὶ χαλινοὺς αὐτῇ περιθέντες παισὶν ἐλαύνειν δεδώκασιν.
Ὁ λόγος δηλοῖ, ὅτι τὰ φοβερὰ τῶν πραγμάτων ἡ συνήθεια μεγάλως καταπραΰνει.
