…neither the first nor the last romance, I suspect, with which a camel has been connected..
-The Camel: Its Uses and Management, Major A.G. Leonard
Major Leonard was here writing of Isaac and Rebecca, how he fell in love when she agreed to water his ten camels. Seeing how a thirsty camel can drink 200 liters at a pop, that comes to more than 525 gallons to draw, more than 2 tons in water weight to carry. Depending on how deep that well was, I’d say that Isaac had it easy around his tent, watching his wife do all the heavy lifting.
