"One camel does not laugh at another camel's hump".
I think that means that when somebody does something wrong, that doesn't mean you have to make fun of them or talk about them in a harmful way just because of what they did such as a slight mistake. For example, say there's a class with 25 people in the class, and the teacher calls on a certain person to answer a question, and that person gets a answer wrong and then the whole class laughs at that person, thats what the proverb is explaining, just because somebody made a mistake doesn't mean that everyone has to laugh or tease that person. I know most people in this world don't liked to be teased, well if you don't make fun of that person then don't make fun of anybody else. That African Proverb can be used in my everyday life because anything I want to make fun of someone or tease them, I will think of the Proverb and that will help me not to tease that person because I wouldn't want somebody to tease me all the time.
