[이솝우화] 원숭이와 낙타 🐒🐪 THE MONKEY AND THE CAMEL 🐒🐪サルとラクダ

 

🐒🐪원숭이와 낙타

온갖 짐승들이 모인 자리에서 원숭이가 춤을 추어 많은 이들을 즐겁게 했다. 
춤이 끝나자 큰 박수가 터져 나왔고, 그것을 본 낙타는 부러움에 사로잡혀 자신도 짐승들의 환심을 얻고 싶어졌다. 
그래서 낙타도 자리에서 일어나 춤을 추기 시작했지만, 몸집 크고 어설픈 모습으로 우스꽝스럽게 날뛰자 짐승들은 비웃으며 조롱했고, 마침내 그를 내쫓아 버렸다.

📝 교훈: 
남의 재능을 억지로 흉내 내다가는 오히려 망신을 당할 수 있다.

THE MONKEY AND THE CAMEL


At a gathering of all the beasts the Monkey gave an exhibition of dancing and entertained the company vastly. 

There was great applause at the finish, which excited the envy of the Camel and made him desire to win the favour of the assembly by the same means. 

So he got up from his place and began dancing, but he cut such a ridiculous figure as he plunged about, and made such a grotesque exhibition of his ungainly person, that the beasts all fell upon him with ridicule and drove him away.

🐒🐪サルとラクダ

すべての獣たちが集まった場で、サルが踊りを披露し、大いに皆を楽しませた。
踊りの終わりには大きな拍手が起こり、それを見たラクダは嫉妬して、自分も同じように獣たちの好意を得たいと思った。
そこでラクダも立ち上がって踊り始めたが、その大きくて不格好な体で無様に飛び跳ねたため、獣たちは大笑いし、彼を嘲り、ついには追い出してしまった。

📝 教訓: 
他人の才能を無理に真似すれば、かえって恥をかくことになる。
