This playful tale is among the best known of Rudyard Kipling's "Just So" stories. In “How the Camel Got His Hump”, pride and arrogance prove to be the downfall of a lazy camel.
“The wrong thing” story. With Mr Springett, the village builder, Dan meets Sir Harry Dawe, the great master mason of Tudor times, who he had first encountered the previous year. He tells a story of his pride in his work, and the hatred between him and another craftsman, Benedetto, who was jealous of his skills. In his pride, Hal has made a painting to decorate one of the King’s ships ‘all in a heat after supper’, but it is not a good piece of work; it is the ‘wrong thing’ of the title.

The Jungle Book - Stage 2 (Bookworms)
In the jungle of Southern India the Seeonee Wolf-Pack has a new cub. He is not a wolf - he is Mowgli, a human child, but he knows nothing of the world of men. He lives and hunts with his brothers the wolves. Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther are his friends and teachers. And Shere Khan, the man-eating tiger, is his enemy.
Kipling's famous story of Mowgli's adventures in the jungle has been loved by young and old for more than a hundred years.
