People must first learn how to do a camel, and then can do a lion

Well close I guess, when I sent the text above through Babel Fish it came out as such:

The human wants to learn to make a camel first, then can make a lion .



All in the interpretation I guess, short of any lawsuits from camels or lions we'll let the quote stand in comments, though we're puzzled as to what it all means.

Maybe we'll start re-reading our LeCarre novels to see if we're missing any hidden meanings.
