"There is a big field of sugar cane over on the other side of the river. Take me on your back, Brother Camel, and I will show you where it is. You may eat all the sugar cane, and I will find some crabs or fish on the shore."
This pleased the camel very much. So he waded through the river and carried the jackal on his back.
The jackal could not swim.
The camel found the sugar cane, and the jackal found some crabs.
The jackal ate much faster than the camel and soon had enough.
"Now, Brother Camel," he said, "take me back. I have had enough."
"But I haven't," said the camel.
So the camel went on eating.
The jackal tried to think how he could make the camel go home.
At last he thought of a way.
