NAME:

Clovis the camel

Clóvis has just moved, he will soon meet new friends! But when he arrives at school, everyone approaches him, surprised.
– Why do you have two humps? Did you get hurt?
– No… in my family, everyone has two humps…
Clovis wants to be like his colleagues! Then hit the second hump, but there's no way to flatten it!
The next day, Clóvis arrives in the room with even more humps! He did so much gymnastics that he got hurt all over.

– It's normal for him to have two humps on his back – the professor reassures him – it's a camel, not a dromedary like us! And it's very practical, as you can carry many things without falling over!
- Nice! – exclaims Clovis' colleagues – Would you like to carry our backpacks? They are heavy!
Of course Clovis agrees… It's a robust camel!
