- There was a little man passing by a cave one day, and a man came out to the door of the cave and said, "How are you, Tom?"
Then the man who owned the cave came out and he invited the little man to come in, saying, "Come in, Mr. Fret." He then asked him if he had any relations.
"I have a brother who is known by the nickname of Humps Moore," the little man replied.
"Bring him in here," said the owner of the cave, "and we will put another hump on top of the hump he has."
So the little man went out, but he was never seen on that road again.
