At last he returned to his home, where his friend the envious hunchback, awaited him. The good woodcutter related his adventures but the evil one didn't care about the gold or the silver. He wanted to rid his back of its hump.
"Compadre," the evil one would ask his good friend, "why don't you tell me where this tree is? The ogres will be there soon; maybe I can also be rich like you. But above all, I hope the fairies will straighten my back."
The kind-hearted woodcutter took pity on his friend and agreed to do as he asked. On the morning of the day set for the meeting of the ogres, the good woodcutter took his friend to the tree. The mean hunchback, without even thanking his kind companion, climbed the tree and set himself to await the arrival of the ogres and the fairies.
Before the fairies arrived, the earth and the rocks trembled as in the previous occasion and the ogres met under the tree.
"Amigos", said the largest ogre, "there is a traitor amongst us. Someone has cured the blindness of my subjects. We were the only ones who know what was said here a year ago; it must be one of us."
"It wasn't I," said the second, "because in my kingdom the dumb can now talk."
"And my previously deaf people can now hear," called in anger the third. "A woodcutter came to my kingdom and cured everyone."
"He was the one that cured my subjects!" exclaimed the other two ogres.
