Theeb
Because you're a helpless rabbit. Worse. At least a rabbit can survive alone. === This is what destroyed us. -What is it? The iron donkey trail. -What's it for? Pilgrims and Ottoman soldiers ride it. A month by camel now takes a week by train. === I've met all kinds of people. Anyone from wise men to merchants. I even took a ship captain to Mecca. -What's a ship captain? They guide people at sea. -I've never seen the sea. I've seen two. The Red Sea... and the Palestine sea. I've traveled all over. I've seen Jerusalem and al-Sham. Everywhere from Baghdad to Al-Madinah al-Munawwarah. -Why did you stop? They stopped me. The train came and ruined everything. All my forefathers were pilgrim guides. They left us in dark times, without means or opportunity. And so brother killed brother. The strong eat the weak. Those are your Englishman's friends. -What happened? The train. Madmen. You can't stop a spear with your hand.
