- Abstract
- en_US This is one of a boxed set of 30 fable books by Usborne, 32 pages in length, 5" x 7¾". This booklet is on the first level, and the text is appropriately simple. It is a "pourquoi" story telling how the camel got his hump. The cover also presents it as one of Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories. When the world was new, there was lots of work to do, but grumpy Camel did not want to help. He only answered "Humph!" to the other animals' requests. The other animals ask a magic Genie to make Camel help, but Genie gets the same response. He punishes Camel by giving him his "humph." It stores food so that Camel does not have to stop work for lunch. Camel now works hard but he is still grumpy! The booklet finishes with puzzles and answers.
