Once upon a time,there were some goblins(小精灵) living in a forest. Their neighbor was a poor old man. He couldn’t move,see or hear. So, they spent a lot of time making fun of him. They showed no respect(尊敬) for his age.
When the Great Wizard(大巫师)found out about it, he was very angry. He decided to teach the goblins a lesson. He cast a spell(施咒语). From that moment, every insult(侮辱)they gave the old man actually improved him, but had the opposite effect on the goblins themselves. Of course, the goblins knew nothing about the spell. Every time they called the man an “old fool",he became a little younger and smarter,while the goblins became a little older and more foolish.
As time went on ,these goblins were becoming very old,ug- ly and foolish, but they had no idea.
Finally, the Great Wizard asked the goblins to look at them- selves. They were too afraid to see that they turned into ugly monsters. And when they finally knew what they did,it was too late.
