The Dancing Camel
The camel really wanted to become a ballet dancer. Every day she
practiced her dances. She worked for many months under the hot
sun. A Her feet hurt and she was tired, but she did not even
think of stopping.
At last the camel said: "Now I am a dancer." She B asked
her camel friends to come for her first show. When her dance was
over, everyone was quiet. "This is C the worst dance that I have
ever seen," said one of the D camel's friends. "You are, like the
rest of us, only a camel. You are not and never will be a ballet

"How very wrong they are!" said the camel. "I have worked hard. I
am a great dancer. I will dance just for myself." That is what she did.
And she was happy for E many years.
