Object Story by Kaltun Abdillahi:
"Reerka awrka lagu guuro biyahana loogu doono (translation: 'The family will be moved by camel and will have water'). Most of us have this camel statue and my mother gave it to me. They (camels) are used at home to date as water is very scarce. The tradition continues."
