"THE HUMPY THING."
"I never would have made a camel, that's certain," remarked a wise (?) lad, after taking a slight look at the ungainly beast.
"Probably not," answered his wiser father. "You would have put the same material into pop-guns or ponies."
"But see what an ugly thing he is; not a handsome feature about him," still urged the boy.
"Handsome is that handsome does," came back to him.
"Look at those abominable humps on his back. Why must he be disfigured in that way?"
"Does a trunk disfigure a traveller?" quietly asked the father.
