    had a hump, and he asked him how he got of the hump, and he told him the story. The next night the other man went past the fort, and they were playing music, and he began to play, he didn't play the music right, and, the king of the fairies, asked who was spoiling their music, and he said to bring him in until they would put the other man's hump on him, and they brought him in and put the other man's hump on him, and sent him home with two humps on him.
