The
\nstork glided to a landing before Stunk’s residence and squawked for
\nattention.<\/span><\/p>\n

“No,
\nit can’t be!” the goblin cried in panic. “I’m not even
\nmarried!”<\/span><\/p>\n

”
\n‘Snot that,” the stork said through his long bill. “In the
\noff-season I deliver mail.” He produced an official-looking
\nletter.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Off-season
\nfor what?” the goblin demanded.<\/span><\/p>\n

“You
\nwouldn’t understand. Take the missive. I have other idiots to bug.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“But
\nI can’t read!” Stunk protested, his panic shifting to
\nembarrassment. Few goblins could read, but like most illiterates,
\nthey didn’t like this advertised.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I
\nwill read it to you, bulbnose.” The stork opened the envelope
\nand oriented an eye on the document inside. “Greetings.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Same
\nto you, birdbrain,” Stunk said politely. Goblins had excellent
\nmanners, though for some reason other creatures seemed unable to
\nappreciate them.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Don’t
\nanswer back, dolt,” the stork said. “I’m reading the
\nletter, not talking to you. Don’t you know what ‘Greetings’ means?”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Hey,
\nstupid, I asked you a question,” the stork said, irritated.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I
\nthought you were reading the letter, needlebeak, so I didn’t answer
\nback. I’m trying to be polite to one not worth the effort. Of course
\nI know what it means. It’s an ungoblinish salutation.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
