'Monday, Tuesday, Wensday. Monday, Tuesday, Wensday. Monday Tuesday Wensday.'
So the three witches chanted. A hunchback came along, and heard them chant a few times more, then added 'Thursday'. The witches were delighted, and cured him of his hump. Later, a cripple came by, heard them chant, then added 'Friday'. The witches became angry at him and cursed him with leperosy, in addition to his feeble legs. The pain of both disabilities combined was so great that he died within six months.
Why that way? Whay not punish the first and not the second?
