The Camel and the Arab Ο nce there lived an Arab in a faraway desert. It gets very hot in the day in the desert and very cold at night. There are also many hills of sand called dunes. This Arab a Camel-driver. He had many wasa camels, which carried people and goods from one place to the other Sert. and Now whenever the Arab took his Camels on a journey, he would decide which route the Camels would take. The Camels had to travel long distances. They had to go in between the dunes, sometimes even over the dunes It is easier to travel in between the dunes on level ground. Going up and down the dunes is very difficult s of One day, after the Arab had loaded his Camel, he asked him, "Camel, do you want to go up the hill or down the hill?" The Camel found it very strange, as the Arab had never asked him such a question before. "Why do you ask me?" asked the Camel. "If I want to walk on just the level ground, will that be possible? No, as the desert is difficult and tiring, so I have no choice!"
