    he got rid of his own hump.
    The second man went to the lios hoping they would remove his hump also. He heard as before the fairies singing, "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday" and he shouted Thursday, but the four words would not suit the air of the song.
    Instead of removing his hump they put the hump they took off the other man on him also. He had two humps on him then instead of one.
