A STORY OF A GOBLIN

In a dark forest there was a hole under the tree. There was an egg in it . The egg was in the hole for many years but it didn´t hatch. But one night it started to jump around and making a lot of noise. Then the egg cracked and there was a little green thing in it. It was a goblin. His ears were big and his eyes were brown. He was all green and he was very small and hairy and he was making strange voices.
He started to look around for some food but he couldn’t find it, so he started to dig a tunnel. He made a tunnel out of the hole. When he was out of the tunnel he smelled beef. His eyes turned red and he started to run after the smell. He came out of the forest and looked around. He was on the meadow and in the middle of it there was a lonely farm. He ran to the farm and looked through the window. There was a woman sitting on the chair and there was a roasted beef on the table. At that moment the woman looked at him and started to shout. The dog started to bark and ran to the goblin. The goblin jumped through the window and he took the beef. Than the man came downstairs with a gun and he started to shoot at the goblin. The goblin ran out of the house and in the forest. There he started to eat the beef. After that he climbed on the tree and fell asleep.
Three years later the goblin was older and stronger. All the people were scared of him and he was stealing so much food that the farms were poor and without food. The goblin lived in a hole near the dark forest waterfall. But one day a forester saw the goblin going into the hole. The forester told that to farmers and they all joined one night on the meadow. Then they all went into the dark forest and to the goblins hole. The goblin was sleeping when the farmers jumped on him and tied him. They took him to the village and put him in the prison. The goblin was so angry that he made a powerful magic that destroyed the whole prison. Then he ran away and disappeared in the dark forest.
No one saw him again but even when he died his ghost was scaring those who trapped him.
