Br_logo_small This sailboat of the endless sands
Gives passage 'cross the barren lands.

This riddle is about a camel. An Arabic term for camel is safina a sah-rah, which translates sailboat of the desert. It's a beautiful word-picture that lends itself well to a riddle. Although camels aren't wind-powered, they've been carrying passengers over rippled oceans of desert sand for thousands of years.

NEW RIDDLE:
In Guatemala
In the trees
Find money
Red and green and free.
(The answer will be published on PRX in the 2/6/10 piece)
