Jamil and His Ten Camels

In the heart of the vast desert, Jamil prepared for his journey to visit his best friend, Amir. He carefully gathered his ten camels, ensuring each one was ready for the long trek. Everything seemed perfect, but as Jamil counted his camels, he noticed something strange. " - Nine, ten... wait, where's the tenth one?" Jamil exclaimed. Each time he counted, one seemed to be missing, causing him great concern.

Determined to solve the mystery, Jamil set off across the golden dunes, certain the tenth camel would reappear. As the sun climbed higher, he paused to rest and count again. " - One, two, three... still only nine," he muttered, scratching his head. Frustrated, Jamil realized his journey was more challenging than expected.

As the afternoon wore on, Jamil faced another obstacle—a fierce sandstorm swept across the desert. " - This is not what I needed right now," he shouted, shielding his eyes. The swirling sands made it nearly impossible to see, let alone count the camels. Exhausted and discouraged, Jamil began to doubt his ability to solve the mystery and reach Amir.

The endless desert seemed to mock Jamil as he sat down, weary and defeated. " - Maybe I should just turn back," he sighed, feeling as if the whole world was against him. Doubts clouded his mind like the sandstorm that had just passed. Was he destined to fail?

Just then, an old Bedouin appeared, his eyes twinkling with wisdom. " - Young man, why do you look so troubled?" he asked. Jamil explained his dilemma, and the elder chuckled. " - Count yourself, my boy," he suggested with a knowing smile. Realization dawned on Jamil; he had been forgetting to count himself all along.

With renewed hope, Jamil counted again, this time including himself. " - One, two, three... ten!" he laughed joyfully, feeling lighter than the desert breeze. With all ten camels accounted for, Jamil continued his journey with a newfound sense of wisdom. He reached Amir's camp, greeted by his friend's warm embrace.
