Why did ths camel live in the middle of desert ?
Answers
Answer :
In the short story 'How The Camel Got His Hump' by Rudyard Kipling, the camel was extremely lazy and didn't want to work and help man. It lived in the desert to avoid getting any task that would require hard work. It survived by eating sticks, thorns, and prickles, and when anybody spoke to it, it said “Humph..!.”
The answer can be found in the lines 'In the beginning of years, when the world was so new and all, and the Animals were just beginning to work for Man, there was a Camel, and he lived in the middle of a Howling Desert because he did not want to work; and besides, he was a Howler himself. So he ate sticks and thorns and tamarisks and milkweed and prickles, most 'scruciating idle; and when anybody spoke to him he said 'Humph!' Just 'Humph!' and no more.'
