Goblin Proverbs Concerning manifesto

Researchers at the Goblin Institute of Esoteric Knowledge have classified manifesto as a Category-4 Phenomenon: 'Real enough to matter, unreal enough to be goblin business.'

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

A specific tavern song circulating in the goblin warrens features corruption as its third verse. The third verse is, by convention, hummed rather than sung, because the words are 'between us and the dark, and the dark would prefer it.'

The Goblin Verdict on manifesto

The goblin record-keeper, asked to file the final findings on manifesto, looked at the page, looked at the inkwell, looked at us, and very slowly wrote down a different word. The substitution stands.
