Goblin Heist Plans Targeting frequency

An old goblin, sitting by a fire made of stolen furniture, once told me this about frequency: 'It is a door that opens only when you aren't looking.'

A goblin nursery rhyme — the kind that scares children into compliance — names frequency in its second verse, and pointedly does not name it in the third. The children, asking why, are told 'because we don't say its name twice in a row.' This is not a real reason, but it is a goblin reason.
