OCTOBER 13: The Camels
“It always strikes folks as funny,” said Sophia Camel, “that we look our best in the winter time and not in the summer time when the zoo is filled with people and when so many come to ride us.
“But we don’t care about our looks. We have our family ways.And one of our family ways is to molt our hair after the long winter is over.
“We can’t change our ways to suit people, even if we would like to change them.”
“We can’t, indeed,” said Sally Camel. “And though they may think it a pity we don’t dress up in the summer time they will have to take us as they find us and be satisfied.”
