Four brothers, who were all good at tracking, met an Arabian who asked them if they
had seen his missing camel. The four brothers asked the Arabian whether the camel had lost
its tail and wanted to know if it was bearing a sack of grain on one side and a jar of honey on
the other.
To his surprise all the questions were true about his camel. And this made the Arabian
convinced that they were the thieves. So he brought them before a judge.
But the explanation was simple. The first brother began," The camel had only gazed
on the grass on one side of the path, so it must be blind in the other eye. One of its hoofprints
was less marked than the others, and that means it must be lame in one foot."
"As for me," said the second brother," I noticed that all its dropping were in one heap,
instead of being spread around as usually happens, so I thought that this camel must be
missing its tail."
"On one side," explained the third brother," some wheat grains had fallen on the path
and the ants were carrying them away. On the other side of the path, the flies were sucking at
the drops of honey."
There upon the judge freed the four brothers, and took them into his own services.
