For English homework, I have to write a fable (a story with a message.) Could you guys read it and then comment what you think the moral of the story is?
Two camels were crossing the desert, each with a heavy load on their back. After a few miles of this, one of the camels decided that surely the load on his back was much heavier than the one the other camel carried, and it was only fair to even it out. "Could you carry these for me?" he asked, passing the second camel a bag. The second camel agreed, and placed it on his back. After a few minutes, the first camel still felt that he was carrying too much weight. "Could you carry these for me, too?" he asked, and once again, the second camel agreed. This continued for many more miles, with the first camel finding the journey easier and easier, while the second camel sunk into the sand more and more with every step he took. Eventually, the first camel glanced at his own back, and saw that he had given away all of his load to the other camel, but when he offered to take some of it back, there was no reply. He looked for his companion, only to find that the second camel had been so weighed down that he had sunken completely into the sand, leaving all the bags for the first camel to carry along.
