So, he said, “Mother can I ask some questions?” “Yes dear,” the mother replies! I have been wondering,” the baby camel begins, “about the humps on our backs. Why is it that, only us, the camels have these humps and no other animal?” The mother smiled and said, “This is because we live in a desert and the water is scarce. This hump stores the water and we release in the body whenever required.”

They don’t look so pretty!” Again the mother camel gave a wonderful explanation. “These long legs and round feet have a reason, son. Here in the desert, it is difficult to walk. But with our feet, we have better control and our feet don’t sink in the sand.” “These feet let us walk in the desert better than anyone else!” The baby camel heard what his mother had said and understood everything. But his curiosity hadn’t died yet.
“Alright”, he said, preparing to ask another question. “So, mother tell me one more thing. Why are our eyelashes so long? Sometimes they get in my way. It bothers me.” “Son, these eyelashes are extremely important. The thick eyelashes act as a protective barrier for our eyes. These keep the sand out of your eyes when strong winds blow. If the sand gets inside your eyes, it will be hard for you to see where you are going and you may hurt yourself,” the mother explained.
“I see what you mean mother,” said the child, still curious. “If the hump stores water, the legs, and round feet help us walk easily on the sand and the eyelashes keep the sand out. Then, what are we doing here in a Zoo?” Also, read April Fools Day Story.
