to admire each of the animals in turn.
and every now and then applying her
handkerchief assiduouslv to her ewes,
When she came to the camel. It was
evident that she had come to stav.
She sat down on one Of the posts that
held the rope and began to catechise

"The camel is also It great traveller"
~Just ike John never could keep

"He is called the ship of the desert"

Of the camel There's one thing

most important of all"
"What's that?" cried the woman.
turning round in her tracks.
"He can go for weeks without drink

"Just like John" exclaimed the ex-
cited female You never saw a man"
But the lions began to roar so loud
that her voice was lost to the attendant
of the camel; and he forgot all about
