A camel was having siesta after her lunch. Its calf slowly approached her. It asked her mother” mummy why do we have humps on our back?”
The camel told the calf that the humps help them carry water so that they could take long journeys in the desert were water was scarce.
The calf thought for a few minutes.
Again the calf asked the camel, “mummy why do we have round legs?”
The camel told the calf that the round legs helped them walk easily on the desert sand.
The calf thought for a few minutes
The calf again asked the camel,” mummy why do we have long eye lashes?”
The camel told the calf that it protect the camels from dust and desert storms.
Calf was pleased.
Again it asked the camel” mummy how lucky we are! But what is the use of these in a zoo where we live?”
The camel replied, “Ones strengths, skills and knowledge are of no use if one is not at the right place”
