There was another man who was this other fellow's neighbour and he determined to get off his hump, because he had a hump also-. He was also taken to the fort and he eat and drank all he got. Then he asked someone to take off his hump but instead of taking off his hump they put the other mans hump on him and he went home sorrowful with two humps instead of one.
