    the ground said to the others.
    'What shall we do with this man and they said
    'Take the hump off him' and when he was coming home he met his brother
    'where is your hump' said the brother.
    I went up to that mount and I said the days of the week. He went up and he did the very same thing and he heard the men talking saying 'what shall we do with this man' and they said put the other man's hump on him and the man went home with two humps.
