Animal tales

 An Arab travels across the desert with his camel. It is cold at night and the Arab sleeps in his tent. The camel puts its head into the tent and asks, "Can I sleep with my head in the tent?" The kind Arab says yes and for two nights the camel sleeps with his head in the tent. Then he asks, "Can I sleep with my front legs and head in the tent?" The Arab says yes. Every ##32; day the camel wants more space. One day there is no space for the Arab. "Can I come into the tent?" he asks the camel. "No,it is my tent!" says the camel. 
 

 Here is a second story. A man walks along on a very cold day. He sees a snake covered in ice. "Poor snake," he says. He takes the snake home and puts it by the fire. When the snake is warm it goes to the man and bites him. 

 An elephant with a short nose goes to ask a crocodile what it eats for breakfast. The crocodile says, "Come close and I will tell you." The elephant goes close and the crocodile says "You" and bites the elephant's nose. The elephant pulls away and his nose is now long! At first the elephant is not happy but he can get more bananas, and then he is happy!
