　　He had 　　4　　 fallen asleep when he felt a soft 　　5　　 on his elbow(手肘)．He woke up to find that his camel had put his head inside the tent．The camel said：“Would you please let me keep my head in the tent to get warm? It is so cold outside．I will not take up too much 　　6　　．”

　　The Arab was a 　　7　　 man, “All right, do as you 　　8　　．” he said．Then he turned on his 　　9　　 and went back to sleep．

　　It wasn't long 　　10　　 he felt a push on his shoulder．It was the camel again．“Dear master,” the camel said, “my head is quite warm now, but my neck is still cold．Do you mind 　　11　　 I keep it inside the tent, too?”

　　“　　12　　．” the man said．But this time he felt a bit 　　13　　, as camel had such a long neck．
