    There is a lios in Grawn. A man used go to the lios. One night he was there and he heard the fairies singing Sunday, Monday three times. This man had a hump on his back and he said Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. The fairies ran out and took the hump off his back. He went home and told another man who had a hump on his back, he told him what happened, he went to the fairies, and did the same thing, but the man spoiled the song one fairy ran out, and put another hump on his back, and he had two humps going home.
