00:00:13.667 --> 00:00:16.625
It was a noisy, crowded market day.

00:00:16.625 --> 00:00:19.333
A pumpkin porridge seller went to the market

00:00:19.333 --> 00:00:21.166
early in the dawn,

00:00:21.166 --> 00:00:25.999
with delicious pumpkin porridge he made.

00:00:25.999 --> 00:00:31.166
"Come and check out my warm pumpkin porridge!

00:00:31.166 --> 00:00:35.583
Pumpkin Porridge that will melt your mouth!"

00:00:35.583 --> 00:00:39.834
The pumpkin porridge seller shouted until his throat went hoarse.

00:00:39.834 --> 00:00:44.750
"Maybe if I wait a bit longer, someone will buy my porridge."

00:00:44.750 --> 00:00:50.750
However, people just walked by without buying any.

00:00:50.750 --> 00:00:55.542
"What will my family live on now!"

00:00:55.542 --> 00:00:59.083
It was getting darker,

00:00:59.083 --> 00:01:03.166
and other sellers were returning to their homes.

00:01:03.166 --> 00:01:08.709
The pumpkin porridge seller also had to go home.

00:01:08.709 --> 00:01:13.500
As he went over a hill

00:01:13.500 --> 00:01:16.834
carrying a pot on his back,

00:01:16.834 --> 00:01:21.917
something suddenly came in front of him.

00:01:21.917 --> 00:01:23.041
"Oh my gosh!"

00:01:23.041 --> 00:01:27.625
He was frightened out of his wits.

00:01:27.625 --> 00:01:30.125
"It is a go... goblin!"

00:01:30.125 --> 00:01:35.999
"Sniff, sniff, there is a delicious smell coming from somewhere!"

00:01:35.999 --> 00:01:40.875
A goblin went up to the seller, flaring its nostrils.

00:01:40.875 --> 00:01:44.875
"What is inside the pot?"

00:01:44.875 --> 00:01:48.625
"It is pum... pumpkin porridge."

00:01:48.625 --> 00:01:52.999
The pumpkin porridge seller answered, trembling with fear.

00:01:52.999 --> 00:01:56.125
"Can I eat it?"

00:01:56.125 --> 00:01:58.875
"Of... of course."

00:01:58.875 --> 00:02:03.208
When the seller laid down the pot from his carrying rack,

00:02:03.208 --> 00:02:07.792
the goblins swarmed around and tasted it.

00:02:07.792 --> 00:02:11.333
"Ah, it's delicious!"

00:02:11.333 --> 00:02:15.834
The goblins ate up the pumpkin porridge very quickly.

00:02:15.834 --> 00:02:21.083
"I need money from them so my family can survive∙∙∙

00:02:21.083 --> 00:02:24.000
What should I do?"

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:29.458
The seller plopped down on the ground and was about to cry.

00:02:29.458 --> 00:02:32.291
"Oh I see."

00:02:32.291 --> 00:02:35.291
"Hey, here's some money!"

00:02:35.291 --> 00:02:38.250
The goblins filled the empty pot

00:02:38.250 --> 00:02:42.083
with gold coins and silver coins.

00:02:42.083 --> 00:02:44.291
A few days later,

00:02:44.291 --> 00:02:49.250
the pumpkin porridge seller left home carrying a bigger pot.

00:02:49.250 --> 00:02:53.458
As he was about to go over the hill, he screamed.

00:02:53.458 --> 00:02:57.500
"Here comes a delicious pumpkin porridge!"

00:02:57.500 --> 00:03:03.041
The goblins swarmed around the pumpkin porridge and started eating it away.

00:03:03.041 --> 00:03:07.834
They kept eating until they could see the bottom of the pot.

00:03:07.834 --> 00:03:13.208
"Bring more next time!"

00:03:13.208 --> 00:03:17.583
The goblins said, while filling the empty pot

00:03:17.583 --> 00:03:21.709
with gold coins and silver coins again.

00:03:21.709 --> 00:03:27.834
The pumpkin porridge seller kept visiting the goblins

00:03:27.834 --> 00:03:30.458
and carried larger pots everytime he went.

00:03:30.458 --> 00:03:32.417
"Yum, yum!"

00:03:32.417 --> 00:03:34.709
"Give me just one little bite."

00:03:34.709 --> 00:03:37.792
"It's pumpkin porridge!"

00:03:37.792 --> 00:03:41.291
"I wish I had ten mouths!"

00:03:41.291 --> 00:03:44.083
"It looks delicious!"

00:03:44.083 --> 00:03:46.208
"Get out of my way."

00:03:46.208 --> 00:03:47.583
"Gulp!

00:03:47.583 --> 00:03:50.041
Let me swallow my saliva first…”

00:03:50.041 --> 00:03:55.917
Soon, the pumpkin porridge seller became rich.

00:03:55.917 --> 00:04:02.959
"I’ll buy paddy fields with gold coins and dry fields with silver coins."

00:04:02.959 --> 00:04:08.834
Since then, he didn’t have to make and sell porridge anymore.

00:04:08.834 --> 00:04:12.250
"Let's plow the paddy fields and plant rice.

00:04:12.250 --> 00:04:15.375
Let's plow the dry fields and plant beans also."

00:04:15.375 --> 00:04:20.125
The pumpkin porridge seller decided to work hard.

00:04:20.125 --> 00:04:24.583
However, the goblins were waiting for him

00:04:24.583 --> 00:04:28.083
all day to visit them.

00:04:28.083 --> 00:04:31.083
"How come he's not coming?"

00:04:31.083 --> 00:04:34.750
"I wonder when he will come?"

00:04:34.750 --> 00:04:38.625
"Ah, I really want to eat pumpkin porridge!"

00:04:38.625 --> 00:04:43.250
The goblins, who had been waiting a long time,

00:04:43.250 --> 00:04:46.250
finally decided to find the pumpkin porridge seller.

00:04:46.250 --> 00:04:53.250
His house was in the middle of vast fields.

00:04:53.250 --> 00:04:58.500
"Is it because he was busy farming?"

00:04:58.500 --> 00:05:04.208
"How can we eat delicious porridge again?"

00:05:04.208 --> 00:05:08.250
The goblins thought hard.

00:05:08.250 --> 00:05:10.250
"Well,

00:05:10.250 --> 00:05:14.291
let's put a lot of stones in the fields!"

00:05:14.291 --> 00:05:15.875
"Okay,

00:05:15.875 --> 00:05:20.125
if we do that, he will come again and sell us pumpkin porridge!"

00:05:20.125 --> 00:05:23.500
The goblins screamed in excitement.

00:05:23.500 --> 00:05:26.208
Pitter-Patter,

00:05:26.208 --> 00:05:28.375
Flap-Slap,

00:05:28.375 --> 00:05:31.417
Crack, Crack!

00:05:31.417 --> 00:05:34.083
"What is that noise?"

00:05:34.083 --> 00:05:38.083
When the seller woke up and went outside,

00:05:38.083 --> 00:05:42.500
there were many stones being poured on the fields.

00:05:42.500 --> 00:05:47.250
"Hmm... it must be the goblins."

00:05:47.250 --> 00:05:53.291
He was clever and pretended that he didn't know what was going on. He said,

00:05:53.291 --> 00:05:58.041
"If it was dog poop, my farm would have been ruined∙∙∙∙∙∙.

00:05:58.041 --> 00:06:01.000
I'm so relieved they are just stones!"

00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:07.458
The goblins were foolish enough to believe what he had said.

00:06:07.458 --> 00:06:09.083
Splash! Splat, splat,

00:06:09.083 --> 00:06:10.792
Splat, splat,

00:06:10.792 --> 00:06:12.375
Spit,

00:06:12.375 --> 00:06:13.583
spit,

00:06:13.583 --> 00:06:16.458
pat, pat, pat∙∙∙∙∙∙.

00:06:16.458 --> 00:06:22.375
The goblins returned home after putting a lot of dog poop on the fields.

00:06:22.375 --> 00:06:27.875
The goblins waited for the seller day after day.

00:06:27.875 --> 00:06:32.417
But, the pumpkin porridge seller never appeared.

00:06:32.417 --> 00:06:36.625
"His farm is probably destroyed by now.

00:06:36.625 --> 00:06:39.208
Why isnt' he coming back?"

00:06:39.208 --> 00:06:41.166
"Oh my,

00:06:41.166 --> 00:06:44.291
I really, really want delicious pumpkin porridge!"

00:06:44.291 --> 00:06:50.166
The goblins, who had gotten tired of waiting, went down to the village again.

00:06:50.166 --> 00:06:57.083
There were plants growing healthy and strong in the fields where they had put the dog poop.

00:06:57.083 --> 00:07:03.667
"How come the crops on the fields full of dog poop growing so well?"

00:07:03.667 --> 00:07:08.834
"Maybe we should pull the farm away from here."

00:07:08.834 --> 00:07:14.583
"Yeah, then the pumpkin porridge seller will have to come and sell his porridge again."

00:07:14.583 --> 00:07:20.667
The goblins drove thick stakes in each corner of the field.

00:07:20.667 --> 00:07:25.041
After that, they tied up every stake with a rope.

00:07:25.041 --> 00:07:29.125
"Harder! Harder!

00:07:29.125 --> 00:07:31.667
Pull harder!”

00:07:31.667 --> 00:07:33.709
“Pull! Pull!

00:07:33.709 --> 00:07:37.333
Let's carry the whole field away!"

00:07:37.333 --> 00:07:40.999
The goblins pulled the ropes all night long.

00:07:40.999 --> 00:07:44.125
"Yo-ho! Yo-heave-ho!

00:07:44.125 --> 00:07:47.458
Heave-ho! Heave-ho!"

00:07:47.458 --> 00:07:53.375
"The fields are probably all the way here.”

00:07:53.375 --> 00:07:56.375
Then, the goblins looked behind.

00:07:56.375 --> 00:08:01.709
"Oh no, we only pulled the stakes."

00:08:01.709 --> 00:08:06.250
"What happened?"

00:08:06.250 --> 00:08:09.166
"It's so strange.

00:08:09.166 --> 00:08:11.458
We couldn't carry the fields!"

00:08:11.458 --> 00:08:16.000
The goblins couldn’t understand at all.

00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:21.709
The goblins wondered how they could eat the pumpkin porridge again.

00:08:21.709 --> 00:08:26.458
"When can I eat the pumpkin porridge again!"

00:08:26.458 --> 00:08:31.500
"Oh my gosh, I really want to eat pumpkin porridge!"

00:08:31.500 --> 00:08:36.125
By the way, you want to know what happened to the pumpkin porridge seller?

00:08:36.125 --> 00:08:40.709
He worked hard and lived happy and well.
