A mother and
a baby camel were lying around, and fortuitously(suddenly,एकायक) the baby camel asked, “mother, may I ask you some questions? Mother said,
“Sure! Why son, is there something bothering you? Baby said, “Why do camels
have humps?” Mother said “Well son, we are desert animals, we need the humps to
store water and we are known to survive without water”. Baby said, “Okay, then
why are our legs protracted(long.लम्बा) and our
feet rounded?” Mother said, “Son, obviously they are meant for walking in the
desert. You know with these legs I can move around the desert better than
anyone does!” Baby said, “Okay, then why are our eyelashes long? Sometimes it
bothers my sight”. Mother with hubris(pride,गौरव) said, “My son, those long voluminous(thick,मोटा) eyelashes are your vindicatory(protective,रक्षात्मक) cover. They help to intercede(protect,रक्षा करना) your eyes
from the desert sand and wind”.
Baby after thinking said, “I see. So the hump
is to store water when we are in the desert, the legs are for walking through
the desert and these eye lashes protect my eyes from the desert then what in
god’s name are we doing here in the Zoo!?”
Moral: deftness(Skills,कौशल), knowledge, abilities and experiences are only germane(useful,सार्थक) if you are at the pertinent(right,सही) place.
