How do camel drivers influence the boy's actions

This question is referring to the story of The Caravan.

The camel drivers teach the boy that There is no need to fear the unknown if you can fight and do what you need to do in order to survive.

The boy learns this lesson from the camel driver's story about his past life. He used to own a successful farm. But one day, the river was flooding and destroyed all of his farms. But still, he realized that he need to feed his family so he took a job as a camel driver for that very purpose.
