I AM Polaris, Prince of the Desert

Sayed Adli Bdaway and Polaris Camel

​​Once upon a time, there lived an orphan baby camel.

As he grew up within the marketplace he lived, he looked at the other animals around him and longed to become one amongst them.

"I could join the horses and pull the carts of the farmers to the markets to bring the baskets of colourful vegetables into town to sell" - he thought to himself.

But when approaching a farmer's horse and telling him this, the horse replied - "But look at you, you have skinny legs and a big hump upon your back, you are no good for hitching a cart to your back. You are not one of us, you don't belong here". He spoke to the monkeys, the dogs and cats, even the parrots but they all told him the same - "we all have a useful place amongst men, you don't belong here in town, you are not one of us".

The camel was very upset and became very ill and weak as he had stopped eating due to his worries and concerns. He wondered what he could do, where he could go and what would become of him. After all, he had no place being amongst the other animals in the market place.

One day, a man with a sparkle in his eyes and a smile on his face appeared at the stable he was living in.
"Ahh - a fine baby camel, just what I was looking for" - he said.

The baby camel replied - "but what good am I to you, my legs are too thin, I can't pull carts for you or chase mice like the cats or guard the house like the dogs".

"No, no - you cannot do any of these things" - said the man - "but you can help me guide people across the sands of the desert. I will help you to become big and strong, strong enough to take men upon your back and lead them to sacred and holy places all across these ancient lands. Your legs may be thin but they are long and strong and carry your body above the hot sands, you have feet with two toes that spread out and can walk across sand, no horse can do the same as you. You have a hump, so you can go without water for long periods. You have a big heart that gives you stamina and endurance to withstand the hot sun and sands of the desert and to walk many miles without needing rest or recovery. You have eyes and ears and a nose that keeps the dust and sand out in strong winds. There are many characteristics you have that a horse does not and that is why I choose you, my fine friend".

"And I will name you, Polaris, for just like the North Star, you will be my Guiding Light that carries friends that come from many distant lands to visit the desert and to see the wonders of the Pyramids and Sphinx that lay there and I will teach you the Wisdom of the Desert and show you all of the mysteries that I and my father and my father's father have discovered there.
​
And so it was, that the little orphan baby camel found a home with the great Wisdom Keeper - Sayed and was named Polaris, the Guiding Light, born from a lineage of noble camels that stretched back through the mists of time, back to Ancient Khem where his ancestors guided others across the deserts, so long ago.
