SUMMARY OF THE CHAPTER
In the beginning of time, when the world was new, there was a Camel. The Camel was very lazy and he sat in the middle of the Howling Dessert, eating prickles and milkweeds. When anyone spoke to the Camel he responded with, “Humph”.
On Monday, the Horse came and asked the Camel to help trot. The Camel replied, “Humph”. The Horse went away and told the Man. On Tuesday, the Dog came and asked the Camel to help fetch and carry. The Camel responded, “Humph”. The Dog went away and told the Man. On Wednesday, the Ox came and asked the Camel to help plough. The Camel stated, “Humph”. The Ox went away and told the Man. At the end of the day, the Man called the Three animals together. The Man said that since the Camel would not work, they would have to do extra work to make up for him. This made the Three very angry, and they talked and complained about the Camel.
In rolls a Djinn, the man in charge of All Deserts, and he conferred with the Three. They asked if it is alright for someone to be so lazy and not work. The Djinn, of course, said it is not.
The Djinn headed to the middle of the desert where the Camel was ogling his reflection. The Djinn asked the Camel why he is not doing any work and the Camel responded, “Humph”. The Djinn told the Camel that since he has chosen not to work, he has given the Three extra work. The Camel said, “Humph”. The Djinn warned the Camel that if he said ‘humph’ again, something bad may happen. As soon as the Camel responded with “humph” again, and a huge hump grew on the back of the Camel!
The Djinn told the Camel that his very own hump, is brought on by his selfishness and lack of activity. The Djinn said the Camel has to work, and the Camel asked how can he work with a giant hump on his back. The Djinn explained that the hump will hold enough fuel for him to be able to work for three days without eating.
The Camel went to join the Three, and from that day always has a hump. The Camel has yet to catch up with the work he missed in the beginning of time, and he has not yet learned how to behave.

Question / Answers

Question. What tasks, do you think, were assigned to the dog and the ox?
Answer : The dog was assigned the task of fetching and carrying sticks, while the ox was assigned the task of ploughing

Question. Why did the camel live in the middle of the desert?
Answer : The camel lived in the middle of the desert because it did not want to work. It ate sticks, thorns, and prickles, and when anybody spoke to it, it said “Humph!” and nothing more.

Question. What made the dog, the horse and the ox very angry?
Answer : The man told the dog, the horse and the ox that since the camel cannot work, he would leave it alone and the three of them would have to work double-time to make up for the work not done by the camel. This made the three of them very angry

Question. How did the Djinn know the horse was complaining against the camel?
Answer : The Djinn knew that the horse was complaining against the camel because he was the in charge of all deserts and knew about everything happening in relation to his deserts.

Question. The camel was looking at his own reflection in the pool. What does it suggest to you about the camel?
Answer : The camel’s looking at his own reflection in the pool shows that he was proud of his appearance, especially his back. He liked admiring himself

Question. The camel said, “Humph” repeatedly. How did it affect him?
Answer : When the camel said “Humph!” repeatedly despite the Djinn’s warning, his back puffed up into a big hump.

Question. What, according to the Djinn, was the use of the “humph”?
Answer : 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.

NOTE- Do the above exercise in a copy or on paper.


SECTION A – READING
 
1 Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below : 
 
1. Every time a child takes a soft drink, he‟s laying the groundwork for a dangerous bone disease. No, fizzy and sugary drinks don‟t cause osteoporosis. But, because they are often a substitute for a glass of milk, kids are not getting the calcium and vitamin D they need to build a strong skeleton. Many of them also lead a sedentary lifestyle, so they aren‟t getting the bone-building benefits for vigorous exercise either. These children aren‟t just in jeopardy for brittle bones and fractures decades down the road. They could be at risk of osteoporosis at a younger age than ever before.
 
2. The Indian Society for Bone and Mineral Research, a body of osteoporosis experts is trying to spread awareness about this bone crippling disease. Osteoporosis starts in childhood but has consequences later in life. The condition causes bones to become riddled with holes, like the framework of a house that‟s been attacked by termites. That can lead to broken bones, which in turn can cause deformity, chronic pain or disability. Osteoporosis can be fatal: up to 25 per cent of older people who suffer a broken hip die within a year. Osteoporosis isn‟t just your grandmother‟s health threat. Although it strikes over 50 million women in India, it also menaces over 12 million men. Osteoporosis causes loss of height, pain in joints and back, fractures and fear of fractures, and can be very depressing. So it is important that we adopt preventive measures, to save millions of people.
 
3. There is a new medical understanding of the best ways to protect ourselves and our children. “Simple lifestyle changes and nutrition will help save your bones,” says Dr Mittal. To get us moving in the right direction, he says, “It‟s never too late to adopt bone-friendly habits—exercise, get enough sunlight, and have adequate calcium. This way, we can keep our bones healthy and prevent osteoporosis.
 
I. Answer the following questions:
 
a) Why are fizzy and sugary drinks blamed for osteoporosis?
 
b) Why do bones get weak? 
 
c) When does osteoporosis become apparent? Why is it called fatal? 
 
d) What are the measures to prevent osteoporosis?

3. Write a letter to your younger brother/ sister who lives in another town/city, describing a dance festival you attended recently telling him about the organizer of the dance event, different dance performances as well as about the performers in about 100 – 150 words
