Camel Talk

[phkrause]

A baby camel was asking his mother a bunch of questions.

“Ma, why do we have huge, three toed feet?” asked the baby camel.

“They help us trek across the desert,” answered the mother camel. “The large toes stay on top of the soft sand.”

“Why do we have such long eyelashes?

“To keep the sand out our eyes on our long treks in the desert.”

“Why do we have these giant humps on our backs?”

“They help us store great quantities of water, so we can make long treks through the desert.”

Summing things up the baby camel said, “So we have huge feet to stop us from sinking in the sand, long eyelashes to keep the sand out of our eyes and these humps to store water?”

“That’s right dear.” said the proud mother.

The baby camel thinks for a moment and says, “So why are we living here in the San Diego zoo?
