One tires of always viewing the Arab Middle East through a jaundiced eye, although Lord knows they deserve all the criticism they get. Camels aren’t exempt, of course, as camel races, for one, have long been said to use virtually-enslaved foreign children as jockeys. But just for a moment, we pause to consider an enthralling primer on the lighter side of the camel, the beast with the feathery lashes and soulful eyes. What to do if you find yourself the rider in a moment of runaway desperation:
"Don’t get angry with the camel or strike it after you have it under control. While your adrenaline may be pumping, it’s important that you keep your cool. Camels tend to hold grudges, so if you frighten or mistreat them, they are liable to be unpleasant in the future."
