"Two Camels"
Baby camel to his dad, "Dad, why have we got
such big feet?"
"so that we can carry our masters through the
hot shifting sands of the desert where no other
animal can go," replied Dad.
"Dad, why have we such long spindly legs?"
"So that we can carry our masters through all
the prickly thorn bushes in the desert without
scratching their legs," replied Dad.
"Dad, why do we have such big humps on our
backs?"
"So that we can carry our masters for long
distances across the desert without stopping
for food or water," replied Dad.
"Dad, why our we sitting in the back of this pickup
truck?"

"The Camel Question"
A mother and baby camel are talking one day
when the baby camel asks, "Mom why have
I got these huge three toed feet?"
The mother replies, "Well son, when we trek
across the desert your toes will help you to
stay on top of the soft sand."
"OK" said the son. A few minutes later the son
asks, "Mom, why have I got these great long
eyelashes?"
"They are there to keep the sand out of your
eyes on the trips through the desert"
"Thanks Mom!" replies the son. After a short
while, the son returns and asks, "Mom, why
have I got these great big humps on my back??"
The mother, now a little impatient with the boy
replies, "They are there to help us store water
for our long treks across the desert, so we can
go without drinking for long periods."
"That's great mom, so we have huge feet to stop
us sinking, and long eyelashes to keep the sand
from our eyes and these humps to store water,
but... Mom?"
"Yes son?"
"Why the heck are we in the San Diego zoo?"
