The Mother and the baby camel were lazing around on a dry summer day.
Suddenly the baby camel asked “Mom, can I ask you some questions?”
“Oh! Sure baby. Is there something bothering you” asked the mother camel
Baby: “I was wondering why do camels have humps?”
Mother: “Good question. You see we are desert animals and need these humps to store water. You know that we can survive for long without water”
Baby: “Okay Mom. Then why are our legs so long and our feet rounded?”
Mother: “You see, these long legs and rounded feet help us to move better in the desert than anyone can do.”
Baby: “Ok… But the why do we have long eye lashes too. It sometimes bothers my sight”
Mother: “No No. These long and thick eyelashes are the protective cover. They help to protect the eyes from the desert sand & wind”.
The Baby camel got to some thinking and finally exclaimed, “I see that now. The hump is to store water when we are in the desert, the legs are for walking through the desert and these eye lashes protect us from the desert sand…….then what in god’s name are we doing here in the Zoo!?”. The baby camel walked away in disappointment.
If you have skills and abilities which are not being put to use, you are in the camel club. Those in this club will be very slow in making progress in whatever aspects of their life.
