The camel curses its parents when it goes up a hill and its Maker when it goes down.
-Egyptian Proverb
Maybe this camel believed Herodotus who wrote that each of its legs had four knees and four femurs, so no wonder it wasn’t easy for him to change the grade. Deserts are meant to be dead flat and sand dunes are meant to be walked around, not over- like most of the Darb al-’Arba’īn where we cursed many things other than its hills.
