Passage - 2

Read the following passage carefully.

---

"I shouldn't say that again if I were you," said the Djinn; "you might say it once too often. I want you to work."

And the Camel said "Humph!" again; but no sooner had he said it than he saw his back, that he was so proud of, puffing up and puffing up into a great big hump.

"Do you see that?" said the Djinn. "That's your very own humph that you've brought upon your very own self by not working.

Today is Thursday, and you've done no work since Monday, when the work began. Now you are going to work."

"How can I," said the Camel, "with this humph on my back?"

"That has a purpose," said the Djinn, "all because you missed those three days. You will be able to work now for three days without eating, because you can live on your humph; and don't you ever say I never did anything for you. Come out of the Desert and go to the Three and behave."

And the Camel went away to join the Three. And from that day to this, the Camel always wears humph (we call it 'hump' now, not to hurt his feelings); but he has never yet caught up with the three days that he missed at the beginning of the world, and he has never yet learned how to behave.

Final answer:

The Djinn was harsh with the camel by punishing it with a hump for not working, which then helped sustain the camel in its work, leading it to join other animals in working.


Explanation:

The Djinn was being harsh with the camel by punishing it for not working. The Djinn made the camel's back hump up as a consequence of its laziness, and the camel had to carry the 'humph' (now known as 'hump') as a reminder to work.

  1. The Djinn punished the camel by making its back hump up after it refused to work.
  2. The 'humph' helped the camel by providing sustenance, allowing it to work without eating for three days.
  3. The camel became ready to work along with the other animals because of the consequence of not working, symbolized by the hump on its back.
