One day, a camel and her baby were chatting. The baby asked, “Mother, why do we have humps?” The mother replied, “Our humps are for storing water so that we can survive in the desert.” “Oh”, said the child, “and, why do we have rounded feet, mother?” “Because they are meant to help us walk comfortably in the desert. These legs help us move around in the sand.” “Alright. But why are our eyelashes so long?” “To protect our eyes from the desert dust and sand. They are the protective covers for the eyes,” replied the mother camel. The baby camel thought for a while and said, “So we have humps to store water for desert journeys, rounded hooves to keep us comfortable when we walk in the desert sand, and long eyelashes to protect us from sand and dust during a desert storm. Then, what are we doing in a zoo?”  The mother was dumbfounded.

A Speechless Mother

It's the dialogue between a zoo mother and her baby. The baby asked its mother a lot of questions because it had many doubts. Why do they have long eyelashes, rounded feet, and humps? The mother gave him a suitable response, but he wasn't entirely sure why they were in a zoo if they had a hump to hold water for desert travel, rounded hooves to make walking in the sand of the desert more comfortable, and long eyelashes to shield them from dust and sand in the event of a desert storm. The mother was unable to respond to him because she was confused.
