One day the camel is overwhelmed by sadness and finds itself in tears. But still Halim shows no sympathy.When they arrive in the beautiful garden-filled city of Medina where the Prophet lives, the merchant refreshes himself with food and drink and then naps on a pillow of sand, once again leaving the tired camel to stand alone in the burning sun.
