The sore and the lore

I do not love camels; I was not reared among them. I’ve never even become intimately acquainted with one. One forty five minute ride was sufficient to show me how long it takes a nonrider to get sore that way.

-The Camel and the Wheel, Richard Bulliet

KhairAllah would have advised, Usbur, Be Patient, Don’t expect in forty five minutes what took forty five days for Luwees, Daoud, Mustapha, and Nedu to learn. Sabr min Allah, Perserverance is from God, says one proverb, and another, Lucky is He who Learns from the Hardship of Others and Not his Own.
