sugar cane. Then, while you eat the sugar cane, I will dine on fish and crabs I find on the river bank.
The camel without second thought, readily agreed and the fox jumped up on his back.
The crossing went perfectly but afterwards the fox, who had a much smaller stomach, satisfied his
hunger long before the camel.
While the camel was still eating, the fox began to howl. The noise brought the farmers running with
big sticks.
The fox managed to escape and hid but the camel could not avoid the beating.
Later…
“Why on earth did you do that?” asked the camel when he was carrying the fox back across the river.
“Oh, its my habit to howl after dinner, “replied the fox, unmindful of the heavy beatings suffered by
the camel.
