A Camel and Jackal

Once there lived a camel and a jackal.They lived near a river, and had become good friends.  One day the jackal came to know that there was a farm of ripe sugarcanes across the river. His mouth watered, but he could not cross the river himself. He thought of taking the help of the camel He went to camel and told him about the sugarcanes. The camel was also tempted to eat sugarcanes. They made a plan, and the camel agreed to carry the jackal on his back and cross the river.

Both of them reached the field, and started eating the sugarcanes. Then suddenly, the jackal started howling loudly. The camel panicked and asked Jackal not to howl. But, Jackal said that it was his habit to howl while eating sweets. Camel warned him, but Jackal didn't pay heed to him. The owner of the field came running and started beating the camel.

When the owner went away, both of them returned to the river. The camel asked the Jackal to get back on his back, so they could go back.  The jackal jumped on the back of the camel.

When they were in the middle of the water, the camel began to roll in the water. The jackal said, "Why are you rolling in the water?" The camel replied, "It is my habit to roll in the water after eating sweets ". The jackal could hardly save himself.
