Cleo is a COMPLETELY FINE camel. Really, everything is just great.
Honestly. A sweltering hot day? Well, Cleo has never felt better!
Is she thirsty? No really she's fine. A desert sandstorm? Not a

sand). It's only when an ostrich who tells it like it is turns up
that Cleo has the courage to admit that, just maybe, she's not fine
at all.

With the wind in his hair, and blowing his hooter, Along came the
prince on the back of a scooter. " Rapunzel, Rapunzel, please let
down your hair!" Called the prince from down on the bottom stair...
But Rapunzel just sat - As still as a wall; She didn' t think much
of the prince at all. Rapunzel sits on the sixteenth floor of an
inner city block, bored, dreaming and looking out at the rain. No
one can rouse her from her apathy, not the milkman or the postman
or the baker or her aunt - or even the prince. But when at last a
letter is delivered, it contains news that has Rapunzel on her feet
again. She has a new job at the library! And suddenly her life is
busy, sparkling, exciting and stimulating. " For despite her long
hair and her ravishing looks, she loved nothing better than reading
good books!"
