जब दुनिया नई थी और पशु सिर्फ मनुष्य के लिए काम करना शुरू कर रहे थे, एक ऊंट था जो हॉलिंग रेगिस्तान के बीच में रहता था। उसने लकड़ी और कांटे खाता था।

ऊंट बहुत आलसी था और कोई काम नहीं करना चाहता था। इसलिए वह रेगिस्तान के बीच में रहता था।

कुत्ते को लकड़ी ढ़ोने और बैल को खेतों को हल करने का काम सौंपा गया था। घोड़े को उसकी पीठ पर काठी ले जाने का काम सौंपा गया था।

कुत्ते, घोड़े और बैल ने उनसे उनके जैसा काम करने के लिए कहा, लेकिन ऊंट ने केवल "हंप" कहा।

वे मनुष्य के पास गए और उसके खिलाफ शिकायत की। आदमी ने उनसे कहा कि उन्हें ऊंट के लिए अतिरिक्त काम करना चाहिए।
