My grandfather gave this camel bell to my father and my father gave it to me. It was my grandfather's idea to have bells because if you didn't you wont know where your camel is when you go somewhere else. When my grandfather was travelling he put the camel bell around the camel's neck and whenever he goes somewhere else and he comes back he hears the bell noise and can find his camel. Whenever I shake it, it reminds me of when my grandfather was in Africa.
