Snemalna Knjiga Besedilo
- Camel, O Camel, Come out and trot like the rest of us,
- Humph!
- Camel, O Camel, come and fetch like the rest of us.
- Humph!
- Humph!
- Camel, O Camel, come and plough like the rest of us.
- Three, O Three. I'm very sorry for you; but that Humph-thing in the Desert can't work, or he would have been here by now, so I going to leave him alone, and you must work double-time to make up for it.
- Djinn of All Deserts, is it right for anyone to be idle? Well, there's a thing in the middle of your Desert with a long neck and long legs, and he hasn't done a stroke of work since Monday morning. He won't trot.
- Certainly not, Whew! that's my Camel. What does he say about it? Very good, I'll humph him if you will kindly wait a minute.
- He says 'Humph!', and he won't plough,
- Humph! Humph! How can I, with this hump on my back?
- My friend, what's this I hear of your doing no work? You're given the Three extra work ever since Monday morning, all on account of your idleness, I shouldn't say that again if I were you, you might say it once too often. I wan't you to work. Do you see that? 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. That has a purpose, 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.
