Everyday life – Interpersonal relations – Differentness
Even in Azerbaijani cities, camels are no longer a common sight. For this reason, the author of this simple, imaginative story has a city invite a camel from the zoo for a visit. The strongly anthropomorphized animal experiences everyday life in the unfamiliar environment. Later, a crocodile and a little bird named Friday join him. Gradually, relationships develop between the good-natured camel, the proud crocodile, and the little bird, as well as between the animals and the people of the city. Where such different characters meet, some mundane conflicts are of course unavoidable. (4+)
