B
Long ago, there was a camel who lived alone in the desert. He was lazy. Instead of working, he spent his days chewing (嚼碎) sticks, eating twigs, and drinking water.
Many other animals worked hard, and they tried to get Camel to help them. But each time, the stubborn camel simply said, “Humph.”
One day, Zebra carried sticks to make a fire for animals.
“Camel, come and carry sticks like the rest of us,” said Zebra. “Humph,” said Camel.
The next day, Hippo carried water for the animals to drink. “Camel, come and carry water like the rest of us,” said Hippo. “Humph,” said Camel.
The third day, Coyote carried food for the animals to eat. “Camel, come and carry food like the rest of us,” said Coyote. Camel didn’t move. He simply responded, “Humph!”
This made the animals very angry. “Camel is lazy, and we work hard,” they said. “We will go to visit Genie (精灵) to see if he can help us.” Zebra, Hippo and Coyote went to Genie and told him about Camel’s laziness.
Genie went to Camel’s home and found him resting. “Stubborn Camel, you have been lazy. You must work with the other animals and help them,” Genie said. “Humph,” Camel replied. “Do not say that again,” said Genie, “You have given the other animals three days of extra work.” “Humph,” Camel snapped. Genie waved his arms, and Camel’s flat back began to puff up into a big bump (隆起), as Camel watched in surprise. “You brought this humph (we call it “hump” now) upon yourself by being lazy,” said Genie, “Now you must work for three days without drinking or eating to make up for the work you missed. You can live off your hump (驼峰).” So Camel stomped off to work, humphing the whole day. And that’s how the camel got his hump.
29. What did Camel do each day?
A. He carried food like many other animals. B. He chew sticks to help animals make a fire.
