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.
