They rode enormous camels which had ample bundles piled on their saddles giving the appearance of a long journey.
"The first man stopped to speak to Samuel. 'You look like a person who would know what is happening in this city,' said the gentleman.
"Samuel bowed. Then he stood up tall, smiled, and declared, 'Yes, that would be me! How can I help you?'
"The gentleman on the camel continued on, saying, 'We are looking for a child, a newborn. He was born a king! Have you heard of such a child who would have been born near here?'
"The look that came upon Samuel's face was one of confusion. He began to think to himself. A king, a newborn king? This was news to him."
