Aesop | Greece
The Camel seen for the First Time
A Camel arrives in a town, feared by people until a brave man befriends it, leading to acceptance and admiration.
Once upon a time, a Camel arrived in a town where people had never seen one before. They huddled in fear, peering from their windows at the tall, peculiar creature with a hump on its back.
Then, a brave man approached the Camel. He spoke gently, calming the fearful beast. As days turned into weeks, the man and the Camel became close companions.
One sunny morning, the man's young son expressed a desire to climb onto the Camel's back. The townsfolk gasped, but the man, confident in the bond he'd formed with the Camel, helped the child onto the hump.
The Camel stood still, careful not to scare the little one. As the child laughed with joy, the townsfolk watched in amazement, their fear replaced with awe and admiration. From that day forward, the Camel was a beloved part of their town.
