Non-Goblins Are Unintelligent
by Igrak Frog-Eat of the Bone Whistle Tribe
Translated by Marco Denno Pommia

Humans
Humans are everywhere, and they don’t like goblins. They eloquently denounce goblins and shoot us with arrows. Sometimes I steal fish from a human stealthily. I like to eat those fish because they are good. I am vastly intelligent. Once, a human saw me but was unable to catch me. Because of this, I was so happy that I laughed at him. “Haha ha haha ha,” was how I laughed. Humans are so unintelligent for not catching me and letting me take the fish. I also saw other humans before, but I ran away quickly because humans and goblins hold animosity toward one another. A goblin from the Mud Lump Tribe told me that humans have killed many goblins in another swamp.

Dwarves
Dwarves don’t live around here. Only one goblin I know has seen dwarves before. Guk Muskrat-Tail-Cut has told me that dwarves yell loud and hate goblins more than humans do. I doubt it. Guk also said that dwarves do not like the swamp. I don’t understand how one can dislike the swamp. It has fish, leaves, and mud. The swamp has it all!

Elves
I saw an elf once: just one elf. She performed magic not to kill goblins, but instead to disappear. I didn’t see her anymore. She simply vanished. A Mud Lump Tribe goblin told me that many elves were with the humans when they killed the goblins in the other swamp, so I’m scared of elves. Sometimes I think I see an elf in the distance, but upon closer inspection it turns out to have been the dead turtle I tied to a tree and forgot about. Then I remember the turtle tree and it causes overwhelming joy.

Gnomes
I wrote a song, and I hope you enjoy it: I hate gnomes I hate gnomes I hate gnomes I hate gnomes they are so ugly they are so ugly they are so ugly they are so ugly (etc.) the end.
