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.
Use serves to overcome dread4.
