The camel and the pig. Once a camel and a pig were talking to each other. The camel was very proud because he was tall, just look at me, he said, see how tall i am, don’t you wish you were tall like? Oh no said the pig, I think ti is much better to be shorter like me.

Both of us can’t be right, said the camel. But if I am not right, I will give up my hump. and I will give my sount if I am not right, said the pig. Then come with me, said the camel. I will show you that I am right. So the tall camel and the short pig went down the road together.

Soon they came to a garden. Around this garden was a high brick wall. There was no door in the wall But the camel was so tall that he could see right over the top of the wall. He could see the fine ripe fruit in the garden. The camel stuck his head over the wall and ate all the fruit he wanted. The poor pig was so short that he could not reach over the wall. He could not get inside the garden because there was no door, so he got no fruit.
haha laughed the camel, now isn’t it better to be tall like me than to be short like you?

The pig didn’t say a word. They went on a little farther and came to another garden. The wall around this garden was so high that even the camel could not reach over it. There was a small door in this wall. The pig pushed the door open with his snout and went it. This garden was full of ripe fruit and the pig ate all he wanted.

But the poor camel was so tall that he could not get through the door, and so he did not get any of the fruit. hahaha laughed the pig, now isn’t it better to be short like me than to be tall like you.

The camel didn’t say anything for a long time. at last he said, sometimes it’s better to be small, sometimes it’s better to be tall. so the camel kept his hump and the pig kept his snout.
