SUMMARY:
The starting of the world had just begun. All the animals were working for human. The Horse, Dog and the Ox carry loads on their back and served humans. But the only animal who didn’t work was the lazy Camel. It lived in the desert and ate thorny plants. When anybody spoke to him he just said ‘Humph!’.
One morning the Dog came and asked Camel to work so did the Horse and the Ox but they all failed. The Camel said only one word ‘Humph!’ All the animals complaint to the humans. The man got angry and asked all the other animals to do extra work to compensate the Camel’s work. So the animals got angry and the Camel laughs at them.
One day A Djinn or the spirit in charge of desert came and asked about their problem and agreed to solve their problem. He decided to punish the Camel. He saw the Camel looking at his reflection in the Water and asked him why he was not doing any work. The camel replied with his usual dialogue “HUMPH!!!..”. The Djinn decided to punish the Camel he cast a spell on the Camel and a big humph emerged on the Camel’s back. The food is stored in the humph so camel can work for 3-4 days without eating. The Djinn said to Camel that if he complete his work then the humph will disappear. The work never ended and the humph was never disappeared.
