![]() ![]() ![]() He finds one and the crocodile tricks him into get close enough to grab the elephants small puggish nose. He wanted to know what the crocodile ate and noone would tell him so he went to find a crocodile to ask. ![]() There was once a child elephant who was full of "'satiable curtiosity" and asked questions all of the time, which got him spanked by his parents, uncles, aunts, etc. We also learn that the elephant didn't always have a long nose. So the djinn gives him a humph, which is later called a hump so as not to hurt the camels feelings. One day a desert djinn shows up and the other desert animals tells him that the camel won't help and the djinn goes to talk to him and the camel just keeps replying "humph" to everything the djinn says to him. In "How the Camel Got his Hump" we learn about when the world was "still new and all" and how the animals all worked, except the camel, who when asked to help in the desert, would reply with a "humph" and walk away. At the end of each short story is a silly poem about the story. They all involve animals and explains (not seriously) what made them the way they are. Just So Stories is a collection of short stories that are silly, fun to read, and very imaginative. ![]()
