How the Camel Got His Hump

by Rudyard Kipling

Published 4 October 1984
Relates how the idle camel got a hump on his back.

How did the cat find its place on our hearthrug without losing its independence?


Relates how the crab came to live both in the sea and on land and to lose its hard shell once a year.

Relates how the greyish-yellowish-brownish leopard came by his spots.
