All he said was, "humph." The other animals who worked told a man who had magic about this problem and he went to the camel only to discover it was true. So, he decided to give the camel a hump so he wouldn't have to eat for three days, which was the amount of time he hadn't worked. The camel has never caught up on those three days and they still have a hump. no reviews | add a review
