  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    There was once a man going off his ceilidh. He had to pass by a fort. This man had a hump on his back. The fairies took him in and took the hump off his back.
    There was another man in the place had a hump on his back. He thought he would get off his hump too, but instead of taking off his hump they put on the other man's on him, so he had two humps then.
