    In the small desert town of Qena, lived a clever boy named Hasan. He had a camel that he named Kamil, who was his sole companion. Together, they would often go on various adventures.

    One day, Hasan decided to take Kamil to a far-off city to sell their homemade goods. As they journeyed, they encountered a river they had to cross.

    The river was deep and the current was strong. Hasan thought for a moment and then asked Kamil to drink as much water as he could. He reasoned that the river would then become shallow enough for them to cross.

    Kamil looked at Hasan as if understanding his master's command. He started drinking the river water. Onlookers watched in disbelief as the water level began to drop.

    With the water level lowered, Hasan and Kamil crossed the river, leaving the spectators in awe. They continued on their journey, their spirits high and their bond stronger.

    As they neared the city, they came across a group of thieves. The thieves demanded Hasan hand over Kamil and his goods. Hasan, however, had a plan.

    Hasan agreed to give them Kamil but asked for one last ride. The thieves agreed, and Hasan hopped on Kamil. Suddenly, he kicked Kamil into a run, leaving the thieves in a cloud of dust.

    They arrived at the city, safe and sound. Hasan sold his goods and bought some food and toys for Kamil. His quick wit had saved them both from the thieves.

    On their way home, they encountered a large wall blocking their path. Hasan pondered how they could overcome this obstacle.

    Hasan had an idea. He asked Kamil to kneel down. Using Kamil as a step, Hasan climbed onto the camel's back, then onto the wall, and finally jumped down on the other side.

    Hasan then found a long, sturdy vine. He threw one end of it over the wall and tied the other end to Kamil. Using Kamil's strength, he was able to pull the camel over the wall.

    That night, Hasan and Kamil sat under the stars. Hasan looked at Kamil and said, "We make a great team, don't we, Kamil?" Kamil responded with a soft grunt, as if agreeing.

    As the sun set in Qena, Hasan would often be seen sitting on a sand dune, Kamil resting beside him, both looking at the horizon, ready for the adventures that awaited them the next day.
