Camel skin

 

Camel skin

 

Once upon a time, there was an Indian businessman who went out to do business with his servant and a camel. On the way, the camel suddenly died. The camel's back was loaded with precious silks, fine felts and other items.

The businessman then skinned the camel and left with some camel meat. The businessman was going to a nearby market to sell the camel meat. Buy another camel.

The merchant asked his servant to stay under the big tree to guard the remaining camel meat and some goods. Before leaving, the merchant said to his servant: "Take good care of these goods and this camel skin. Don't let it get wet!"

Soon after the businessman left, it started to rain. The servant was afraid that the camel's skin would get wet from the rain, so he quickly took out the satin and felt blankets from the accompanying goods to cover it.

The donkey Mahu passed by carrying Agudengba. Agudengba also took shelter from the rain under this big tree. He was very surprised: Why did the servant use those silks and felt blankets to cover the camel skin?

The servant said to Agudemba: "Master wants me to take good care of this camel skin and not let it get wet."

Agudengba smiled: "Don't your master know how to make silks and felts that are many times more valuable than camel skins, so they will rot?"

The rain stopped. Agudemba left the servant on his donkey, singing a song along the way:

 

The camel walked through the sky full of yellow sand,

The camel walked through day and night,

The desert oasis seen by camels,

It seems to be just a mirage.

 

The camel is actually the incarnation of a human being.

Life is also like the camel in the desert.

 

I believe there will be a day,

Camels will surely find an oasis,

People can also find that future.

There were crazy sandstorms along the way,

But when I close my eyes and open them again,

The camel turned into a skin.

 

The merchant will not take kindly to that camel,

Camels are just slaves carrying loads;

Even if you die, you will be skinned.

Only fools can sympathize,

Sad tears have no cause and effect,

Just for the value of the camel skin.
