    man who had a hump. This man was coming from the fair one night and as he was passing by the fort he heard the fairies singing the same song with the part added on by the first humpy man. When they had finish their rhyme he thought he should add on "Agus An Dardaoin". "Go out" said the queen "and seen who is there spoiling our song". They brought in the man and put the other man hump on the top of his own. That poor man went home with two humps on his back.
