- Long ago there lived a boy who had a hump. In this same village the fairies (th) lived also. One November's night he went to the fort where they were. They were singing a dancing. The song they were singing was Monday, Tuesday, and said Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. He sang it so sweetly that they took the hump off him and left it on the grass. He went home and there was another boy in the village with a hump. This boy went to the fort (ald) also and they were singing as before. He did not sing so sweetly as the first boy so they put the other hump on him along with the one he had. So he had to go home with two humps.
