The camel is the most ruminative of animals, and he slobbers constantly while he ruminates,
particularly on his Picket-Line Hitch, which he believes is provided for this purpose. His knot is
always sopping, but it has been very nicely planned; and so, wet or dry, it is never difficult to untie and
it does not slip in either direction.
