The Arab And The Camel ...

This mostly forgotten fable comes from the Aesop collection ... 

The moral is so important: When we let things slip into our lives (bad habits, negative thinking, etc.) they often take over and leave us only the worse ...

"It’s so cold out here," said a Camel to an Arab sitting in his tent one cold night in the desert ... 
"May I not put my head inside ???" 

The Arab assented and the Camel put his head in ...

"Perhaps you will kindly allow me to put my neck in for it is shivering with cold" 

"Certainly," said the Arab, and the animal advanced until his long neck was in the warm tent ...

"I’d be more comfortable if I could put my fore feet in" said the Camel, and the Arab moved to one side, for the tent was small ...

"I might just as well come in entirely" said the Camel and he moved in ... 

But the tent was too small for both ...
So the Arab had to go outside ...
