Summary

The two humpbacks who went to see the fairies.

A man with a hump called Barney met the fairies. They took him into the hill. They sang, 'Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday'. The man added 'Friday'. The fairies were pleased and took his hump away. Another humped man went to find them. He added 'Saturday' to the song. The fairies did not like this and gave him the first man's hump.
