WHY DOES THE CAMEL CAST A GLANCE BACK?

Long ago, the camel was quite the sight to behold.

Its horns branched majestically,

and its tail trailed long and thick.

One day, Camel went to the river's edge

to quench its thirst. As he drank, he admired his reflection.

Suddenly, a deer bounded up to it:

— Oh, dear camel, today I must

make a social call. Would you please, pretty please Lend me

your horns for just one evening!

The camel obliged, granting the deer its horns.And In those times, horses didnt had tails . and  One horse approached the camel and pleaded for a sleek, ebony tail for one a day.

The camel granted the request, bestowing its tail upon the horse.

Time passed, yet the camel's horns

and the tail were not returned.

When reminded of the debt, the deer said sharply:

— I'll return your horns when your tail brushes down the ground.

And the horse quipped:

— I'll return your tail when your horns reach for the sky.

Since then, when the camel drinks from the river, he always casts a glance around and back.

For it awaits his debtors.
