The Story of the Goblin Exterminator
Once upon a time long, long ago, when the whale still was a trout and
Seringale not under siege, a warrior was on a mind numbing journey for
any piece of gold and silver he could scrape together. Even at times as were
then, he was especially keen and skilled on slaying the ones named goblins, as
he had from early days on learned the now patented way of 'cracking the spine
in three, four, five or even six places'. As he was lurking around the area
near Solace he met a farmer working hard on his fields and offered him his
services as a goblin exterminator. He said he wasn't interested because he
hadn't seen any goblins or gnomes on his farm for years. The starved
warrior indicated that he had a wife and three younglings and really needed
the gold.
The farmer still didn't think he needed any goblins put out of their misery but
he felt sorry for the warrior and said, "I'm certain there aren't any goblins around
here but if you will strip naked, I'll tie you to my barnyard fence for the entire
night and when morning comes, if you've got even one goblin bite on you, I'll
hire you for life."
The warrior was elated and readily agreed to being tied up naked. That night,
the farmer tied the naked warrior to the barnyard fence and went to bed. Several
times during the night he thought he heard him moaning and groaning.
However, when he went out the next morning, the warrior didn't have even one
single bite or scratch on him. The farmer asked, "What was all that moaning and
groaning about last night?" "That was the worst night of my life," the warrior
said.
