THE CAT, FROG & CAMEL
Once upon a time, a cat, a frog and a camel gathered near an oasis in a desert. They wanted to appoint their leader.
It was not easy for them to do that because each of them wanted to be the leader. They all most had a fight because of this.
Luckily the camel had a bright idea. He proposed that whoever because the oldest could be the leader. All agreed too this idea. The cat told his story first. “When I was born, the earth was still soft. I had to walk very carefully so that I did not sink into the ground. That’s why I’m still very careful about the way I walk”.
“Oh! That’s nothing”, explained the frog. “I’m sure I’m the oldest. When I was born, the earth was very hot. It was too hot to walk on. The only way to move around was to jump. That’s why I still jump rather than walk”.
The camel was very amused. “When I was born”, he told his friends. “The earth had not yet been made. There way only the sky and a lot of sand everywhere. When my father died, there was no place to bury him, so I had to carry him on my back. That’s why my back is crocked. Of course, it’s very useful as I can keep food and water in it”.
On hearing what the camel said, the cat and the frog had to agree that he was the oldest. They made him their leader.
