One day, a camel and her baby were chatting when the baby asked.
“Mother–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 then why are our eyelashes so long?” To which the mother replied, “To protect our eyes from the severe dust and sand storm of the desert. You can call them our protective covers for the eyes”, replied the mother camel.
The baby camel thought for a while and then 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 the sand and dust during a desert storm. So, then what are we doing in a zoo?”
The mother was dumbfounded.
Moral: Your strengths, skills, and knowledge are useless if you are not in the right place.
