The camel was looking at his own reflection in the pool. What does it suggest to you about the camel?
The camel was looking at his own reflection in the pool, which indicated that he was proud of his looks and appearance, especially his back. Perhaps he assumed that he was the most handsome-looking animal and was admiring himself upon seeing his own reflection in the pool.
The camel said, “Humph” repeatedly. How did it affect him?
The Djinn was trying hard to remind the camel about his work which the lazy animal avoided due to his idleness. The camel kept saying “Humph” again and again in a repetitive tone which annoyed the Djinn. In no time, the camel’s back puffed up into a huge hump for repeating the word “Humph” over again and not performing the tasks assigned to him.
What, according to the Djinn, was the use of the “humph”?
According to the Djinn, the camel missed his daily work for three continuous days. Hence, he said that the camel would be able to perform his tasks for three days without eating. The hump on his back would help him to store food and use the energy derived from it without eating food and work for a longer period.
“…he has never yet learnt to behave”. In the light of this, what is the writer’s opinion about the camel?
As per the writer, the camel is a very lazy animal which loves sitting idle and avoids doing work. All day he would spend eating sticks, thorns and prickles. However, after he got the hump, the Djinn asked him to go out of the desert and help the other three animals – horse, ox and dog and also behave like others while working. It was due to his laziness that he missed performing tasks for three days. The Djinn told him that his hump would help him to store food and use the energy derived from it without eating food. It would also help him to finish the pending work, and he would continue carrying the hump and living in the desert forever.
