There once was a hill that ate people. The rabbit's grandmother told him never to go near it. So the rabbit went to the hill and shouted, "Gobbleknoll swallow me! Come devour me!" But Gobbleknoll knew the rabbit and took no notice. Later that day, a group of travelers came by looking for a place to shelter from the rain. And Gobbleknoll opened his green and ferny lips and the travelers thought that they had found a cave. They went in and the rabbit slipped close behind them.
