Solution
In a forest, there lived a goblin named Cruel. One day, he met an old man wandering in the forest. Immediately, Cruel leapt onto the old man’s shoulders and ordered him, “Let's go. Move fast.” The frightened old man obeyed the nasty goblin and walked on. As they moved on, he noticed that the goblin's feet were very tender. The old man asked Cruel, “ Sir, how are your feet so soft and tender?” Cruel replied“ I have taken a vow that I will not touch the ground with my feet, till I wash them.” They soon came to a pool. The goblin instructed the old man to wait for him while he entered the pool. The old man thought to himself, “Now that the goblin has wet his feet, he does not need me. Let me run for
my life or he will surely eat me up.” So he ran off.
