    song I taught them the song and they asked me what gift did I want and I said to take the hump off me and they did so. The other man went to the same place and he taught they would take the hump off him if he would teach them a longer song. He went into the forth and began to sing Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday. The fairies did not like his song and instead of taking the hump off him they put the other man's hump on him and the man went home with two humps.
