The Goat and The Camel

A very good afternoon to the chairperson, the most honourable judges, the
time keeper, teachers and my friends. I stand here today to tell you a
simple story about The Goat and The Camel
A goat and a camel were good friends. They always ate and drank
together. They lived together happily.
One day, the goat and the camel were talking in a field. They talked a lot
and teased each other. The camel said You are not as tall as I am. You are
also not clever as I am. The goat did not want to lose, so he said, What is
the use of being tall? You are not as agile as I am. The goat and the
camel carried on praising themselves as they walked.
Finally, they reached an orchard. There were a lot of fruits in the trees in
the orchard. The goat and the camel could not get into the orchard. There
was a high fence around the orchard. The camel stretched his neck. He
began to eat the young leaves that were hanging over the fence. The goat
tried to jump up to eat the young leaves. He jumped up many times but he
could not reach the leaves. The leaves were too high for him. The camel
ate the young leaves all by himself. He did not bother about the goat. He
did not even look at the goat.
The goat was very sad. He stood beside the fence and kept quiet. The
camel then looked at the goat and began to laugh loudly. He said what is
the matter, my friend? Isnt a tall body useful? The goat felt ashamed and
did not say anything. He looked around quietly.

Suddenly the goat saw a small hole in the fence He was very happy. The
goat went near the hole in near the fence. He entered the orchard through
this hole. The goat was now inside the orchard. The camel then went near
the hole too. But the camel could not get into the orchard through the hole.
He tried hard but the hole was too small for him. The goat ate the red
apples in the orchard. Then he ate the yellow pears. The camel looked at
the goat eating the fruits greedily. The camels mouth began to water.
A short while later, the goat was full. He then began to laugh at the camel.
What do you say now, my friend? Isnt a small body useful?
A squirrel was sitting on a tree nearby. The squirrel heard the camel and
the goat teasing each other. The squirrel said, You two are wrong. All
animals are not the same height. Being tall is both good and bad. Its the
same with being short. The squirrel continued, Every animal has his own
good and weak points.
Therefore you must not tease one another. The goat and the camel felt
ashamed. They bowed their heads and did not say anything.
The moral of the story is everyone has their own good and weak points.
Therefore we must not make fun of other people.
Thank you!
