"Hello Amir," said the voice, "Are you tired out?"
Amir couldn't believe his ears. When he looked carefully at the log, he noticed a creature that was so close to it in color that he had difficulty in telling which was which.
"Who are you?" he asked. "I had real trouble spotting you-your color and the color of the log you're sitting on are exactly the same!"
"I'm a chameleon," said the creature, which rather resembled a lizard. "I change my color according to my surroundings to protect myself from danger."
"How do you manage such a wonderful thing?" asked Amir, intrigued.

Amir was not sure he quite understood, "Could you please tell me a bit more about how you change color?"
The chameleon took a deep breath and nodded: "When I'm sitting on a leafy branch in daylight I turn green with black and brown markings, like the shadows on the branches around me. When it's dark I'm completely black. I can carry out all these color changes within 15 minutes. When I'm angry though, I develop dark orange spots and dark red markings as a warning to other animals."


His friend smiled happily. "My eyes move independently of one another. I can look backwards and downwards. Of course, I wouldn't have had any of these characteristics if Allah had not wanted me to. Allah created me and gave me everything I need to survive."
Amir looked a bit closer. "It's quite hard to make your eyes out."
"So that my eyes don't attract the attention of enemies, Allah covered them completely with scales so they look like the rest of my head. As you can see, when Allah created me, He designed me in the best possible way to deal with whatever might happen to me."

"Bye bye, Amir!" said the chameleon as it disappeared back into its surroundings once more.
