The Camel and His Master


Once upon a time, there lived a man. He had a camel. The camel was a faithful animal 
and would do all the chores for him. One day, the man had to travel far to get some goods. 
He sat on the camel and started on his journey. After many days, they reached their destination. 
Many bundles of goods were loaded on to the camel's back.
 The camel felt tired and weak. He looked at his master and said, 
"Master, why don't we rest a shile before we return home." The man wanted to 
return home to sell the goods and had no time to waste. But he was cunning, he said, "My dear camel,
I will take you back by an easy route. How would you like to travel, uphill or downhill?"
The camel felt annoyed because he knew he really had no choice, so he said "Why don't we travel on level ground.
That will be easy." Since there were no level ways, the man kept quiet. He had been outwitted by the camel.


MORAL: Don't try to be too clever.
