Reading Notes: Twenty-Two Goblins, Part A

Jeweled fruits from a monk. Meet under tree in a cemetery. King went to get a dead body from a tree. The body was possessed by a goblin? Goblin tells the king stories along their journey.

Cemetery by NotFromUtrecht 
Three suitors are after Coral. They lived with her swooning when suddenly she passed away due to sickness. One slept on her ashes, one dipped her bones in a river, and the other became a monk. The monk wanted to bring Coral back to life. He read a spell and Coral awoken. Each one believed they were the reasoning behind her coming back. The father chose the boy who slept with her ashes day and night because of his dedication.

Moonlight, chariot fight, giant, marriage, brave man, and anger.

Love at first sight. This whole story sounds like a cleaning commercial at first haha. Spotless asked Clean-cloth for approval of their son and daughter to be together. White for some odd reason decided to cut off his head in a temple. Brother-in-law cut off his own head as he saw White did. Lovely was thinking about hanging herself, but she heard a voice tell her not to do it. Lovely put the heads of her brother and fiancé on the wrong bodies. She was conflicted because now they are essentially a mixture of both people.

Fighting about a turtle. Went to eat dinner, but something smelt of burning corpse. One brother refused to eat. He blamed a servant for smelling terrible. Goaty smell. Another brother suffered being pricked.

Four suitors. Princess wanted a good looking scientist.

Three delicate wives. Crescent was bruised from a petal falling on her. Star was burned from moonlight. Moon was in distraught due to loud but not loud noises.
