The Camel, The Elephant and The Monkey
(Aesop’s Fables)
Translation ちいさな翻訳屋さん
Japanese ・ English ・ Chinese
Japanese & English ・Japanese & Chinese
Animals decided to elect their king,
and a camel and an elephant announced their candidacies.
Because both of them were bigger in size and had more force than other animals,
they felt confident of their qualifications for a king.
However, a monkey said that both of them were not eligible.
“Because the camel's too peaceful to get angry against the bad,
it doesn't seem to be possible to rule the country.
And the elephant gets scared of rats for some reason,
so it doesn't seem to be possible to protect us when rats attack us.”
This story tells us that everyone has flaws, because of which some big plans could result in failure.
