The Legend of the Camel's Hump

                   Do you know why camels have humps?
                   There is a story that says that when the Wise Men were getting ready to look for the New Born King, they  had to cross many miles of desert.  They could not carry enough water, and anyway they left so quickly that they didn't think about it.  When they were half way there, they ran out of water.  So one of the wise men went to the camels and explained where they were going and asked if the camels would just keep going even though there was not enough water.   The camels agreed and went as fast as they could because they too wanted to see the Son of God.  When they finally got to the stable, the camels knelt down too, and worshiped the Baby Jesus and thanked God for helping them make the long trip with no water.  Then they drank their fill from the stable's trough.  And God rewarded the camels with large humps so they would never have to thirst in the desert again.
