The camel, the horse and the donkey;
One day a camel, a horse and a donkey got into conversation. The camel said: ‘I can carry four aqals if they are packed by a good housewife but not even one aqal that is packed by a bad one.’
The horse said: ‘I gallop tirelessly if I am ridden by a skilful horseman but can’t go at all if I am ridden by a bad one.’
‘As for me,’ said the donkey, ‘it’s all the same whether my rider is skilful or not. I need only kick once and in an instance he will fall from my back on to the ground!’
