Fable 148 - The Camel Seen for the First Time

When they first set eyes on a camel, men were afraid. Awed by its huge size, they ran away. But when, in time, they realized
its gentleness, they plucked up enough courage to approach it. Then gradually realizing that it had no temper, they went up to it
and grew to hold it in such contempt that they put a bridle on it and gave it to the children to lead.

This fable shows that habit can overcome the fear which awesome things inspire.
