Aeah

Aeah is the son of MUGH. Aeah's name means "shoe" in the camel language. You say his name like (A-ah). Aeah loves shoes and likes to eat them. He has a son and a daughter and his wife is named TOd-ti-ha, which means beautiful. He will be the 5th Camel God, when MUGH is gone. His newest child, NOneH (which means sock in camel,) was born last June. His other child was born years ago. Her name is HemH and her name means spot.

 The Story of Aeah: 

Many wonder about the story of Aeah, and why Aeah’s name means shoe. It is an amazing and intriguing story and every camel deserves to know. It all began with MUGH...

Aeah is MUGH’s son. Aeah is a, well, special camel. First of all, because he is MUGH’s son, and second of all, he is different from other camels. When camels go right, he goes left, when they go slow, he goes fast. When they go forward, he goes backward. So he...stands out from the crowd.

One night, a group of wise kings was in the desert. They looked up at the night sky with all of the twinkling stars. One star stood out, more than the others. It was bright. The three wise kings found their camels. Aeah was one of them. He was just a few months old, but wanted to go explore the dester. He had snuck off of the cloud before his mother, RoulGH-ti-ha noticed. The first king took a seat on the first camel, with one hump. The second wise king took a seat on the second camel, with two humps. The last wise king took a seat on Aeah, who was growing his third hump at the time. They all set off to find the star. Aeah, was...well...not very enthusiastic about traveling through the hot desert to look at a star, so as usual, he went the wrong way. Galloped fast when the others went slow, and turned left when the others turned right. Eventually, Aeah and the last wise king got lost. Deep in the desert.

The wise king was worried and frantically tried to steer Aeah in the right direction. Aeah didn’t care in the slightest. He just kept galloping and turning here and there around the vast, hot desert. When Aeah slowed down a bit, Aeah turned his head around to look at the wise king. Then he tried to eat the king’s shoe! This is where Aeah’s name comes from. Since MUGH could see into the future, MUGH new this would happen. For that reason, Aeah’s name is the most perfect name for him. At some point in the journey, the wise king fell of Aeah’s back and was forced to walk. All the way to the other wise kings.

Aeah also didn’t care in the slightest. He just kept on going. He finally found a place to stop, and for some reason built a hotel there. He hung shoes everywhere in the hotel to remind himself of his name and also because he liked shoes a lot. You would think a famous camel who was the son of MUGH would get plenty of business at his newly opened hotel in the middle of the desert. Well, he did. Kind of.

Aeah had camel visitors from everywhere to come and book rooms at his hotel. The hotel was named Aeah’s Hotel. He got plenty of people that came, but never let them stay. Because all of the rooms were booked. By himself. He booked all of the rooms in the hotel that he opened. Soon enough, a woman, about 14 years old sitting on a donkey being pulled by a tired looking man. It was Mary and Joseph.

“Can we please stay at your inn? We need somewhere to stay.” Joseph asked Aeah, not realizing he was a camel.

“MUGH-Meh. Meeeh MUUH Meugh.” replied Aeah

Confused, Josiph didn’t reconize the camel language at all and continued to find a place to stay.

Later that night, Aeah was next to his inn drinking coffee and then he heard footsteps. He turned around and to his surprise he saw the three wise kings and two camels.

“I thought I ditched you," said Aeah to the last wise king.

Of course the king didn’t understand and just gave Aeah an angry look for throwing him into the desert to walk miles to find the other kings. The wise kings told Aeah that they are just a few minutes away from where the star is. Aeah at least wanted to see what was under the star, not that he would hang out there for a while. It was then when Aeah got to witness the first Christmas. RoulGH-ti-ha made her son return back to the cloud until he was 600, so he had his trusty friend, Senior Click Click run it for him until he was old enough.

So this all happened back when Jesus was born, but you are probably wondering, what Aeah is doing with his hotel now, and what happened to the wise kings...let’s just start with that so the wise kings are long gone. Anyway, Aeah’s business is really taking a toll because of COVID and all-even though he booked all the rooms so no one else can stay there or pay him. But we will go back to that later.

In 2015, Aeah’s business was still open! Camels would come from far, far, away to see the amazing hotel and bow to the feet of the son of MUGH. It was great, right in the middle of the most inconvenient place on Earth-the desert. TOd-ti-ha is her name (it means pretty camel teacher). Aeah wanted to impress her. She had long eyelashes as he told us-but quite honestly, all camels have long eyelashes- and she was growing her 2nd hump (she has it now). Aeah fell in love with her right when he saw her. Like  i n   l o v e. He wanted to let her into the hotel, but he just couldn’t break his tradition. Camels live on tradition. But Aeah doesn’t listen to really anything anyone says, so he let her in and let her stay at his grandest hotel room, just across the hall from the one that he stayed in.

She loved him too, and they got married in the summer of 2015 right in the middle of the desert because Aeah really doesn’t care about anything so he was just like “Let’s get married in the desert because I don’t care about anything except you and shoes”. So they got married.

A few months later, they had a baby girl named HemH (meaning spot). He wanted her to become the first female MUGH (after him of course, so, in about 1,000-2,000 years). Aeah and TOd-ti-ha taught her the ways of the camel. They taught her how to pray in the name of the first hump, the second hump, and the Holy Third Hump, ding! ding! ding! ding! And the rider on top. HemH was overjoyed to learn so many things about camels and so many stories of Aeah’s shoe eating. HemH did very well in her camel studies, because of course Aeah taught her. Then MUGH wanted to come down from camel heaven (his cloud) and see HemH. Aeah did not think this was a good idea.

Uh, MUGH, If you come down the sky will FALL and I actually care about my life so...no actually I only care about shoes and TOd-ti-ha and HemH the daughter you want to meet…..so that means I care about her life sooooooooooo..MUGH will you please not.” Aeah asked, very confused.

MUGH replied to Aeah, “I sit on the clouds. They will be happy when I get down.”

Aeah replied to MUGH, “Ok. Fine. okk”

And so MUGH came down from his cloud to meet HemH. In 2016, we probably all remember that frigid winter with all of the freezing cold snowfalls. The snow towered even above trees! So, uh, hate to break it to you but that was not snow. That was MUGH’s cloud! Every time you played or touched the snow, you were actually touching MUGH’s cloud! You were touching the most supreme cloud in the universe! So after that, the camel authorities basically got very upset because the camel nation had almost revealed themselves entirely to the world. MUGH was in big trouble.

But of course, MUGH didn’t care because he got to see HemH! And he is the camel god so he can do whatever he wants. No one can boss him around. He spent the whole winter with Aeah, TOd-ti-ha, and HemH with his cloud falling on top of the world and he did not care in the slightest that homes were being destroyed and damaged while he was just taking a vacation to spend time with his son and he acted like there was nothing that he could do about it. But, the camel authorities truly didn’t have anything to do about it because they couldn’t just fix it all because they don’t have nearly as much power as MUGH does. During that winter, you might have thought that where you lived was in chaos because of all of the “snow” fall. That was nothing compared to the disaster MUGH left the whole camel world in. Camels didn’t dare to protest, because they thought they were blessed with MUGH’s cloud. They were living in peace with the rest of the camels until the sky basically fell on top of the human world and all of the secrets they had kept for thousands of years were about to be broken.

After the winter of 2016, the camel world shaped back up. MUGH’s cloud was fixed and the upside down world turned right side up again. Aeah and his family lived in happiness for years. Aeah’s hotel was still there and he told the story of the first Christmas every year to his family.

Then, 2020 happened. When it turned 2020, Aeah had a feeling that something bad would happen-or so he told us. HemH was 3 years old (she likes shoes-mostly to eat), and Aeah was still teaching her the ways of the camel. One day when Aeah was teaching his daughter how to properly bow to MUGH, TOd-ti-ha galloped into their hotel room with a worried look.

Aeah asked TOd-ti-ha,“What’s going on, TOd-ti-ha?”

“There is a new virus in the human world called COVID-19 and it is infecting people from all over the world!” TOd-ti-ha answered.

Aeah was stunned to hear this news.

Again? Aeah thought. I thought this already happened in 1918 with the flu!

TOd-ti-ha was worried because she and Aeah were having another child.

The next day, Aeah saw some unwanted guests at the front door. The camel authorities here tell him he must shut down his hotel. You see, in the camel world, if you have a business, MUGH just gives you money even if people aren’t going to your business. This means that Aeah wouldn’t be getting money for his family!

Aeah yelled to the camel authorities.“WHY WHY WHY WOULD YOU EVER THINK THAT I SHOULD SHUT DOWN MY HOTEL YOU WILL NEVER DO THIS TO ME AND CAMELS DON’T GET COVID SO DISHONOR ON YOU DISHONOR ON YOUR COW YOU HAVE NO REASON TO BE AT MY HOTEL RIGHT NOW SO GOODBYE LEAVE GO NOWWWW!!!!”

Aeah was very proud of his strong response. He shut the door on the camel authorities and prayed to MUGH. He and MUGH had a long discussion about the stupid camel athroties and MUGH said he would poop on them from his cloud. And so he did.That night the camel authorities also had an unwelcome guest falling down from the clouds (you can guess what that is).

For the next 6 months from April-October, Aeah and his family had to close the hotel. In June, TOd-ti-ha had a son named NOneH (say NO-nne) which means sock in camel. Aeah loved both NOneH and HemH so much. HemH helped Aeah teach NOneH the ways of the camel, just like he did with HemH when she was NOneH’s age.

Aeah then was very angry that his hotel was closed down. But no matter how many times he yelled at the camel authorities, nothing happened. Aeah knew what he had to do.

The next day, Aeah summoned a cloud from camel heaven and floated up into the sky. MUGH was there waiting for him, just as he had promised. Aeah told MUGH of his closed down hotel, and his new baby camel named NOneH. MUGH felt happy for the new baby but was discouraged to hear what had happened to Aeah’s hotel. MUGH opened back up his hotel and they were happy. There was now a sign posted on the door of the hotel:

Camels don’t get COVID - your proud hotel owner, and future MUGH, Aeah

Aeah was proud of his new sign. He had not written in that neat of handwriting in over 1,000 years, although the handwriting on the hotel door was not all that good.
