  1. A Story (continued)

    Many years ago there was a man living in Callen named John Leaper.

    (continued from previous page)
    and he said he could. He told them to play a reel and they did so. When he was finished he heard the faries saying that he was a very bad dancer. So they made up their minds to punish him. They took John Leaper's hump and put it on him. Then he had two humps.
    When he went home no one knew him. After that no on went to this fort.
