‘How can I (как же я смогу),’ said the Camel (спросил Верблюд), ‘with this humph on my back (с этим Грпом на моей спине)?’
‘That’s made a-purpose (это сделано нарочно),’ said the Djinn (сказал Джинн), ‘all because you missed those three days (только из-за того что ты прогулял те три дня). You will be able to work now for three days without eating (теперь ты сможешь работать три дня без еды), because you can live on your humph (потому что ты можешь жить своим Грпом); and don’t you ever say I never did anything for you (и никогда не говори, что я ничего не сделал для тебя). Come out of the Desert (выходи из Пустыни) and go to the Three (и иди к Трем), and behave (и веди себя прилично). Humph yourself (Грюпай на себя)!’

And the Camel humphed himself, humph and all, and went away to join the Three. And from that day to this the Camel always wears a humph (we call it ‘hump’ now, not to hurt his feelings); but he has never yet caught up with the three days that he missed at the beginning of the world, and he has never yet learned how to behave.
THE Camel’s hump is an ugly lump (Верблюжий горб — уродливая глыба) Which well you may see at the Zoo (которую вы можете без труда увидеть в зоопарке); But uglier yet is the hump we get (но еще уродливее горб, который мы получаем =
