A mother camel is asked by her baby camel why camels have certain features. She explains that camels have humps to store water, long legs and rounded feet to walk through the desert easily, and long eyelashes to protect their eyes from sand and wind while in the desert. The baby camel then questions why they are in the zoo rather than the desert, as their features are adapted for desert life. The moral of the story is that skills and abilities are only useful if used in the right environment.
