How the Camel Lost His Good Looks

They say that long, long ago, the Camel used to be one of the most handsome animals.
He had a long fluffy tail and nice and mighty horns.

All the animals in the forest and the steppe were envious of the Camel. Many of them
wanted to have the kind of tail that the camel had, or the kind of horns he had.

The Camel knew of this and said proudly:

--"You won't find the kind of tail I have, or the horns, anywhere else in the world!"

But it would have been better had he not boasted.

Once, he came to the river to have a drink of water and there met a Maral.

--"I'm invited to a party. Will you lend me your horns, just for a while?" asked the
Maral.

The Camel lent him his horns. Later on that very day the Camel met a horse.

--"I'm invited to a party," said the Horse. "Will you lend me your tail?"

The Camel agreed and stayed on the bank of the river. The Maral and the Horse ran off.
All day long the Camel drank water and looked up the road while waiting for them. But
there
was no sign of either the Maral nor the Horse.

The Maral had deceived the Camel and skipped over to the taiga. he stayed there forever
and never
went out into the open steppe. He got accustomed to the horns as if they were his.
The Horse never gave back the borrowed tail and when he comes across the Camel, he gets
frightened and runs away.

That is how the Camel lost his good looks and sweet temper.

That story had me chuckling all day :D

Great!
I'd like also to suggest, more Russian and less English in both the skype sessions, and in this thread. как вы думаете?

So that's Sunday, 6th May at 8pm Norwegian time (i.e. 7pm UK time)? I'll try to make it to the Skype session too. :)
