What, according to the Djinn, was the use of the “humph”?
Advertisements
Solution
The Djinn assured the camel that his “humph” would not create a problem for him while working. Since the camel had skipped work for three days, he could live on his humph and would be able to work for three days without eating. This means that the hump was a kind of food reserve.
