How The Camel Got Its Hump by Justine Fontes
A Retelling of the Classic Tale
In this delightful retelling of a classic tale, the story explains how the lazy and idle camel, who refuses to work like the other animals, ends up with a hump. Set in the early days of the world, the camel's refusal to contribute to the efforts of the horse, dog, and ox leads to a visit from a magical Djinn. As a consequence of his laziness and repeated utterance of "Humph," the Djinn gives the camel a hump, enabling him to store energy and work for longer periods without needing to eat as often, thus teaching him a lesson about the importance of contributing to the community.
