The Goblin Calendar of frequency

Variant tellings across three continents place frequency at the moment when a goblin laughs for the first time in a story — never before, never after.

The goblin board's investment thesis on frequency runs to forty pages, of which six are diagrams, fourteen are footnotes, and the remaining twenty consist of the same paragraph slightly reworded each time.

A goblin who lived near the slop site for many years was asked, late in life, what they had learned. The reply, transcribed verbatim: 'It got quieter. So did I.'
