The goblins were having a party at their terrace, but Swatty was not very happy. All the other goblins made fun of him because he had clumsy feet and could not dance at all. Whenever he tried to dance, he would end up hitting someone. Even as the other goblins swayed to the music on the terrace, Swatty sat in a corner with a doleful face. Suddenly, he heard someone calling out to him. “Swatty,” squeaked a voice. It was the sweetest voice he had heard. He looked about but could not find anyone. Then from behind a plant, the most beautiful nymph appeared. “Would you like to dance with me? I can teach you how to dance,” said the nymph. Swatty was thrilled. The nymph led him to the dance floor. The whole night Swatty and the nymph danced, while all the other goblins looked at him with envy.
