A great part of Arabia is desert. Here there is nothing but sand and rock. The sand
is so hot that you cannot walk over it with your bare feet in the daytime. Here and there in
the desert are springs of water that come from deep down under the ground-so deep that
the sun cannot dry them up. These springs are few and far apart, but wherever there is
one, trees grows tall and gracefully, making a cool, green, shady place around the spring.
Such a place is called an Oasis. These Arabs have the finest horses in the world. An Arab
is very proud of his riding horse and loves him almost as much as he loves his wife and
children. He never puts heavy loads upon his horse, and often lets him stays in the tent
with his family. The camel is much more useful to the Arab than his beautiful horse,
however, for he is much larger and stronger. One camel can carry as much as or more
than two horses. The Arabs loads the camel with goods and rides him, too for miles and
miles across the desert-just as if he were really the “Ship of Desert”, which he is often
called.
