A little camel went to his mother and asked, "Mother, just why do we camels have such big eyes?"
She looked on him lovingly and replied, "You see, my son, when we are walking in the dessert and the wind starts to blowing and there's sand everywhere, we need these big eyes to keep an eye on one another so that we don't get lost."
"Oh! Thats fantastic" he said. "And why do we have such huge feet?"
"Well," she said, "they allow us to walk easily in the dessert sands and help us avoid sinking into the dunes."
"Wow," he said, "thats really cool. Oh and what the heck is this big hump on our backs for?"
"You see," his mother informed, "we can walk for days, even weeks without food or water, so we use it to store fat during those times. We are the only animals in the whole wide world with these atributes. But why are you asking me all these obvious questions?"
"Well, mother," said the young camel, "I was just wondering, if we've got all of this great amazing stuff, what are we doing in Bristol ?"
