Notes on original story:
  • She goblins lure men in, marry them, then eat them. 
  • man discovers the truth, tries to tel the others. 
    • the others won't listen to the man
  • A fairy comes who knows the truth, convinces them they will be eaten, and takes those who will go to safety. 
    • The rest who stayed behind are eaten. 
Questions for writing:
Why does the fairy allow this to continue if she knows the truth?
Why doesn't she always save people or prevent them from coming to the goblins?
Perhaps the fairy has a deal with the goblins?
Why do the goblins marry them? Why not just eat them?
