Once two merchants who were travelling in the desert by night lost one of their camels. The camel was loaded with corn, honey and a bag of gold.
An old man, who had spent all his life in the desert, noticed the merchants and said: "I see you have lost a camel."
"Yes, we have," they answered.
"Isn't he blind in his right eye, and lame in his left leg?"
"He is," answered the merchants.
"And isn't he loaded with money on one side and with corn on the other?"

"He certainly is!" exclaimed the merchants. "And as you have seen him so lately we hope you will show us where he is now. 'I'^vi
"My friends," said the old man, "I have never seen your camel."
"But where is the bag of gold?" said the merchants and they took the man before the judge.
The old man with great calmness addressed the judge: "My life in the desert has taught me to notice things. So when I crossed the footprints of a camel I knew at once that he had run away from his owner, for I saw no other footprints in the sand. I knew that the animal was blind in one eye because he bit the grass only on one side of his path. I can tell from the footprints that he was lame. There were a great number of flies and some grains of wheat near the place where he lay down, so it was clear to me that his load consisted of corn and honey."
The judge let the old man go and said to the, merchants: "This is the man who has helped you to find your camel."
