These stories told by the goblin have no relating theme to them. It will be difficult to write a story that incorporates ideas from more than one story.
Rather an idea that I could go with is by making the king and the goblin detectives. The goblin collects all the evidence and tells the king who in turn goes out and apprehends the villain.
- Some of the stories involve three men who collectively cause trouble whether it be to themselves or to other people. They can act as the antagonist, a sort of gang that the king and goblin are trying to take down.
- Some stories also involve women and who deserves her hand in marriage. She could act as a hostage. The three men in the gang can fight over her and forget that the king and goblin are hot on their tails.
- Another direction to take is that the woman is using her position over the three men and is the one who is actually calling the shots. The king and the goblin think she is innocent, when she is actually the one they are after.
- She has a magic ability to change the heads and bodies of the men that are following her making it difficult for the king and the goblin to recognize them and capture them.
