The Lost Camel
A desert explorer gets lost and stumbles upon a small village. He approaches a wise elder and asks, “I’ve lost my camel. Can you help me find it?”
The elder says, “I can help. How tall is your camel?”
The explorer replies, “About 6 feet.”
The elder nods. “Does it have a hump?”
“Yes, one.”
The elder thinks and says, “Was it facing north or south?”
The explorer is puzzled. “I have no idea!”
The elder strokes his beard and says, “Well, my friend, if you don’t know where you lost it, how can I know where to find it?”
