“Guardians of the heavens, look at my flying so high”
Said the arrow as it whizzed through the blue sky
“I am now a denizen of your heavenly spheres”
A bird said, “That is true, but you are not among your peers”
“Forget not you have risen by others’ strength
And on your own, you will fall down the full length”

A mouse caught hold of a camel’s lead rope
Walked ahead with aspirations and hope
Although so small he thought himself so great
Driving the beast and directing its gait

Camel went along, let the mouse control
Leading it onward a whimsical stroll
“Enjoy yourself now, think yourself hero
“Soon I’ll show you that you are a zero”

Then they came to the bank of a river
The mouse began to shake and shiver
“Step forward you twerp, you are my guide
This is not the time to hide your false pride”

Mouse dared not step in the water and drown
Appear to be a contemptible clown
“I am afraid of the deep blue depth
Drowning in it will show I am inept”

The camel walked into the depth profound
While the mouse looked on from the safe ground
“The water is up to my knee level
Do not wait, don’t frown, join me and revel.”

“Your knee is many times over my head
If I enter the water I’ll be dead.”

“Maybe you shouldn’t dare lead a camel
Think yourself master of a big mammal.”

The devil always praises his own accomplishments and talks about himself.
