The Camel had her heart set on becoming a ballet dancer.

"To make every movement a thing of grace and beauty," said the Camel. "That is my one and only desire."

Again and again she practiced her pirouettes, her releves, and her arabesques. She repeated the five basic positions a hundred time each day. She worked for long months under the hot desert sun. Her feet were blistered and her body ached, but not once did she think of stopping.

At last the Camel said, "Now I am a dancer." She announced a recital and danced before an invited group of camel friends and critics. When her dance was over, she made a deep bow.

There was no applause.

"I must tell you frankly, " said a member of the audience, "as a critic and a spokescamel for this group, that you are lumpy and humpy. You are baggy and bumpy. You are, like the rest of us, simply a camel. You are NOT and NEVER will be a ballet dancer!"

Chuckling and laughing the audience moved away across the sand.

"How very wrong they are!" said the Camel. "I have worked hard. There can be no doubt that I am a splendid dancer. I will dance and dance just for myself."

That is what she did. It gave her many years of pleasure.

*SATISFACTION WILL COME TO THOSE WHO PLEASE THEMSELVES*

After 40 years of dancing, the camel held her last recidal for her friends, family, and critics. In the audience was the very critic who first told the dancer she was lumpy and humpy, baggy and bumpy and simply a camel and would never be a ballet dancer. He was old and frail wearing two leg braces and walked with a camelcane. Not every Camel that criticized her 40 years ago was present at this recital. Many have since passed away.

The recital began as the camel did her routine filled with pirouettes, releves, and arabesques. Even throwing in plenty of modern moves that some of her young dance students came up with. Moves called Hip hop, breakdance, tango, cha-cha, and the pretzel. The pretzel is a dance swing done with the help of a pole that was attached floor to ceiling. When her dance was over, she made a deep bow.

There was plenty applause and a trophy presentation. 

She even mesmerized the head critic spokescamel.

He said,"I must tell you frankly you have exceled with great perseverance, passion nad professionalism. I hearby retract my first critique 40 years ago and beg your forgiveness."

The Camel accepted, "You I forgive as i do everyone else who scoffed at me then. I am a splendid dancer and i have had many year of pleasure. I also would like to announce that this was my last dance as i am retiring. It is time to step aside and let the younger dancers take the spotlight. THank you all for your years of support, for the many trophies. Continue to support your little camels into doing anything their hearts desire. 

Remember that satisfaction comes to those who please themselves."

With that said Ms. Camel exits the stage and proceeds home to rest. It was not untill the following afternoon that a fellow camel came to visit. Her door was unlocked and upon entering he discovered her still sleeping. Upon closer observation, he had discovered she had given her final performance, gave her last bow and died shortly after fulfilling her dreams and destiny.

The next day the community prepared for her burial.

Upon her tombstone read:

Here lies our beloved dancing camel

Who had a dream to fulfill.

She expressed a strong will

To dream of success gracefully led

And did not care what others said. 

She died after the dance she did best

dancing in camelheaven, her life is at rest. public R&D http://vk.com/MadonnaRandD public R&D http://vk.com/MadonnaRandD http://vk.com/MadonnaRandD
