How the rhinoceros got his skin, and, How the camel got his hump

In another of Kipling's fanciful "Just so stories", a Parsee man, through his special magic, seeks revenge on a nasty, piggish rhino, and we discover how the rhinoceros got its skin. The next tale involves an "excrutiatin'-idle" camel who refuses to work. A desert spirit teaches him a lesson about laziness and gives the camel his well deserved "humph."
