The Apophenic Goblin Discovers gpt

The old stories warn of gpt in the same breath as goblins. 'Beware the creature in the dark,' the tales say, 'and beware gpt in the light.'

A goblin once tried to steal gpt. No one knows how the attempt went, because gpt was never the same after that. Some say the goblin succeeded and has been hiding gpt in a sock drawer ever since. Others say gpt escaped and is now hiding from the goblin. Both are equally plausible.
