    A Fairy Story
    [-]
    A man was coming along the road when he heard music in a fort. The music enticed him, so he went in. He had a big hump on him and the fairies took off the hump. There was another man who had a hump. When he heard about the fairies he went to the fort. He went in, and instead of taking off the hump, the fairies put on him the hump they had taken off the other man. The poor fellow came home with two humps.
