Five ways to say it (for a 5-year-old)
- Camels are the boats of the hot, sandy desert.
- Camels are like ships that sail over sand.
- Camels carry people across the desert like a little boat.
- Camels move through sand the way ships move on water.
- Camels are the desert's boats that help people travel.
Why people say this — simple steps:
- Deserts are big, hot, and full of sand.
- Camels can walk a long time without water and carry people and things.
- Because camels help people travel across the sand, people call them "ships of the desert."
