The Monkey and the Ant Eater

A monkey that had climbed on the roof of a house summoned all the
passers
by.

He made great gestures, rolled up its lips, made the clown, joining
Pirouettes and making funny faces specific of its nature.

Soon a crowd piled up to the house, and an external observer saw all the
faces raised towards the monkey, split by a great smile.

After the monkey had left, an ant-eater who would've given anything for
a
bit of popularity, took its place on the roof and tried to imitate the
monkey.

In a few minutes the crowd had dispersed. Scarcely had the ant-eater
succeeded in making some teeth squeak and making fun of the curious, he
was trying to imitate the monkey and dislocated a leg as well as broke
several tiles.

"Go back to your den you will be more useful there!" they shouted at him
or
still: "who called you, ant-eater, to make us laugh, you're not really
that
gifted."

The owner of the house was furious and sent 2 servants armed with brooms
to
thrash the intruder.

The only thing that the ant-eater got for trying to imitate the monkey
was a
broken leg, a pressed horn and bruises all over, which amused the
monkey.
