Rudyard Kipling made up bedtime stories for his children. He wrote them
down in 1902 and called them Just So Stories. Using a lot of imagination,
these tales were fun ways to explain things like how the elephant got his
trunk, the leopard his spots and the camel his hump.
Come out
and trot!
Camel!
You have
given extra
work to
the other
animals.
You can live on
your humph!
Come fetch
and carry
things!
Come plow!
Grrrrrrr!
But how can I with this
humph on my back?
HEY!
W-w-what’s
happening
to my
back???

Other animals asked Camel to
help with their work ...
hen the world was new and the
animals were just beginning to
work for Man, Camel lived out in the
middle of the desert because he
didn’t want to work. Whenever
anybody spoke
to him, Camel
just said . . .

The Djinn
warned Camel
to stop saying
“HUMPH.”
But Camel said
it again and
again. So the
Djinn cast a
spell on Camel.
This made the
three animals
very angry, so
they asked a
Djinn (also
called a genie)
to help make
Camel do some
work, too.
You have
missed three
days of
work. Now
you’ll work
without
stopping or
eating for
three days!

a lolloping humph (we call it a

But he never caught up with the three

beginning of the world.
And he has never
learned how
to behave!
