A nomad had been wandering the desert by foot for many years. He has saved up some money on his travels and decided that his walking days were over and it was time to buy a camel.

He went to the nearest camel ranch and asked the ranch owner what type of camel he could get for the money he had.
"I am sorry," said the rancher "that's not even enough for the cheapest camel." The nomad looked forlorn until the rancher said "we do have this one camel though, we weren't going to sell him because he's kinda special, but I'll sell him to you in you like?" The nomad was overjoyed, "Yes, please! What is so special about him?"
"To make him walk you have to say 'go' and to make him gallop you have to say 'phew.' To make him stop simply say 'amen.' Have you got that?"
"I think so, yeah!" Replied the nomad. He paid his many, got on the camel and said "go!" and it began to walk. After awhile as he had gotten used to the camel, he decided to try to go a bit faster and so he said "phew" and it burst to life. It started hurtling through the desert, bounding over dunes and zooming past oasis's.

Suddenly, the nomad saw that ahead there was a gapping gorge and the camel was charging straight for it. He began tugging on the reins of the camel, pleading for it to stop, but, it wouldn't and he had completely forgotten the word to make it do so!
"Oh god help me!" cried the nomad. He began to pray, "God, please don't let me die on this camel, amen." And of course it came immediately to a dead stop right at the very edge of the deep gorge.
"Phew" said the nomad.
