Some Americans were touring an Arab marketplace and one of themsaw a man sitting on the ground brushing his camel."Excuse me, sir," the American said. "Do you know the time?"Ammar looked at the American.
The he reached over and held thecamel's balls, moving them slightly. "Ten after two," he said, atlast."My word!" said the American.
He caught up to his tour group andinsisted some of the others return with him, "You've never seenanything like this!" he promised.The group went back with him. Again he asked for the time. AgainAmmar reached for the camel's balls. He seemed to be weighingthem as he moved them to and fro. Finally, he announced: "Twenty-one minutes past two."The others were amazed. They went on their way, but the firstAmerican remained.
He leaned over."Listen," he confided to Ammar, "I'd give you anything to knowhow you do that. I'll give you twenty American dollars if youshow me how you can tell the time by holding your camel's balls.
"Ammar thought for a moment, and then nodded. Pocketing thetwenty-dollar bill, he beckoned for the American to kneel downbeside him on the ground.
Then he took the camel's balls andgently moved them to the side, out of the way."Do you see that clock over there?" he asked.
