Answers
Answer:
BEFORE THIS PLEASE MAKE THIS ANSWER THE BRAINLIEST!
1)The camel’s looking at his own reflection in the pool shows that he was proud of his appearance, especially his back. He liked admiring himself.
2)When the camel said “Humph!” repeatedly despite the Djinn’s warning, his back puffed up into a big hump.
3)The Djinn assured the camel that his “humph” would not create a problem for him while working. Since the camel had skipped work for three days, he could live on his humph and would be able to work for three days without eating. This means that the hump was a kind of food reserve.
4)According to the writer, the camel is still a very lazy animal that is unwilling to work. After he got the hump, the Djinn asked him to go out of the desert to help the other three animals. It seems that the camel still did not behave himself and worked lazily in the desert itself. It is for this reason that he was still unable to complete the pending work of those three missed days; and he continued carrying the hump and living in the desert.
Thank you.
