Kipling Short Story

How The Camel Got His Hump


The moral of the story, How The Camel Got His Hump, is to not be lazy and just let everyone else do all the work. Also it teaches that it is not good to have a poor attitude toward work. There would most likely be a punishment for laziness and bad attitude, in this case, the camel got a hump.


I thought that this story tells a good lesson. I personally am lazy and have a poor attitude toward work and that usually ends bad. I also think that the story implies that sometimes good could come out of the bad. Since the camel was lazy, he was given a hump. This hump allowed him to work for 3 days without eating. Through punishment we learn what is wrong and hopefully lean more toward doing what is right.
