- Long ago the people used to believe in fairies whom they believed lived in forts. There once lived a man whose name was Lismore. This man bore a hump since he was a child. One night he dreamt that he went to the fort and the fairies cured him. Next night when everyone had retired he went to the fort and sat under a bush. After a little while he heard a voice saying - "Lismore, Lismore, doubt not nor deplore
The hump which you bore on your back, is no more"He went home and next morning when he got out of bed, to his great delight he found that he was completely cured of his hump, and the people wondered how it happened. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
