- There was a boy crossing a fort one night and he heard music playing inside in the fort. He went in. The fairies asked him what brought him here. He said to dance. They let him dance and while he was dancing they put a hump on his back. The boy got very angry with the fairies for putting the hump on him. They asked him to remain still and that they cure him before he would leave. He refused to obey the fairies and they put a second hump on him and kicked him out of the fort.
