Just so stories, How the Camel Got His Hump, sentence 45

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.

Who acts: Camel, we · What happens: wear, call, not hurt, not catch up, miss, not learn · To what, where: humph, purpose, feelings, Camel, three days, beginning · Speech: someone speaks here
