Fifth Goblin:
- Enjoyed this story the most out of the others.
- City of Ujjain
- King named Merit
- Counselor Hariswami with a wife, a son named Devaswami, and a daughter named Moonlight
- When their daughter grew up she told her parents and brother that she would either marry a brave man, wise man, or clever man, and if she was to marry someone else then she will die.
- Hariswami ventured to find Moonlight a husband and in the middle of that was sent by King Merit on some business. After finishing, a young man came up to him to offer his hand to his daughter in marriage.
- He claimed he was the clever man and made a flying chariot by his skill.
- Hariswami then appointed the marriage for the seventh day
- At the same time a young man went to Moonlight's brother and said he was a brave man.
- He showed his skills with weapons and Devaswami appointed the marriage for the seventh day
- At the same time as that, a young man approached the mother and said he was a wise man
- She asked about the past and future and found his claims to be true and appointed the marriage for the seventh day
- Everyone eventually got caught up to speed on what everyone else has been doing and they realize that all 3 of them will be coming on the same day
- Moonlight disappears on that day
- They all fought over who should get her
