The Camel and Jupiter

THE CAMEL, when he saw the Bull adorned with horns, envied him and
wished that he himself could obtain the same honours. He went to
Jupiter, and besought him to give him horns. Jupiter, vexed at his
request because he was not satisfied with his size and strength of
body, and desired yet more, not only refused to give him horns, but
even deprived him of a portion of his ears.
