    Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. The hunchback called out Friday. All the fairies gathered around him and the chief of the fairies asked who was this man who spoiled their good song and what would they do with him. He said that he would put the hump which he took of the other man on him. So he did and the Malin hunchback went back ten times worse than when he came up.
