MK – The Camel Owner

Never knew that Jaya is so good in story telling:

A vegetable vendor, a fruit seller, a pottery merchant and a glass dealer formed an alliance with a camel owner. They took advance from people and went to New Delhi, promising to procure them articles at cheaper rates. The consignment was loaded on the camel. On their way back, the camel ate up the perishable items while the breakable ones fell down and were smashed. The people who trusted them suffered huge losses.

Now the same merchants were approaching the people with a promise that they would supply them articles at cheaper rates procured at the ''Chennai market.''

How can such an old camel / camel owner carry so much load?
