BR2-3 Gnomes and Goblins

I introduce to the book Gnomes and Goblins. It divides 3 stories.
First, the main character is Harold, who is a happy farmer. But he was robed of his happy because the gnome arrived. He is a gnome, which rob crop for farmer. He demands to get half of everything that Harold grows. So Harold decided to trick for gnome. One day Harold planted wheat in his field. At harvest time, he asked gnome which wants to the top or bottoms half. So Gnome answered the bottoms half. But in fact the bottom was a grain. Harold could get the wheat of the top. Gnome was deceived by Harold. To earn crop, Gnome demand to get crops of top. Next year, Harold made certain crops. It was turnips. So gnome had to get leaves of the top of turnips. Gnome was very angry, so he demanded that he had cut the wheat of half the field next year. When the wheat was ready to cut, Harold bought lots of thin iron rods. And he stuck the thin iron rods among the wheat owing not to cut wheat. According to schedule, gnome couldn’t cut the wheat. Gnome was very angry again and he left the town. So Harold never saw him again.
Second story is story of Goblin Hill, where live small goblins. One day a girl Jessy was skipping in the sun, she heard certain tiny cry. A little fairy was stuck in spider’s web. So Jessy helped her. The fairy was going to Goblin Hill for a party and she invited Jessy to the party. The tunnel, which they have to go through, is so small that the fairy changes Jessy into small girl as large as the fairy. So Jessy could pass the entrance. They arrived in the middle of a goblin parade. The prince, who had never seen girl, was fall in love Jessy. So he gave her beautiful magic flower. And he let many goblins choir sung a song for her. He also let them dance and eat lunch with together. But Jessy had to go back home so she run the tunnel. On going through the tunnel, Jessy returned usual size. Then the tunnel was nowhere to seen.
Third story, Jack, who is middle age man, was walking for weeks. He walked so long distance that he decided to take a rest on bridge. He had fallen asleep, and then many pixies arrived. He waked up. The pixies fly away on the straw. He wished he could fly. They took him to their town. And the party was held there. He could take part in the party. One pixie gave him a silver cup full of fruiting drink. But as the sun rose, everyone vanished. He waked up next day, the silver cup had. He had no money so he decided to sell it. But the cup was stolen cup from the Lord Mayor's cellar. He was taken to a judge who told him off. But he told truth so he could be free.
The 3 stories were very fun. Each section, various goblins and gnomes appear and they trick for people. I want to trick such like them. But some times, they were too worse to do. So if I do some trick, I want to easy trick. Their appearances are so cute that we don't think that they trick on us, if we meet them. In 3 sections, I like 2 sections because I like fairy. And such like Jossey, I want to become small size as large as ant. But each gnome, they were irresponsible, I think. I want to see them only once. (612words)
