But Chun's stomach would not stop grumbling, and he knew he must find some way to quiet it. He felt the acorns in his pocket, and as quietly as he could, he took one out and put it in his mouth.
But to his horror, when he bit down, he heard a thunderous crack.
"Get out!" the goblins cried, leaping to their feet. "The roof will fall down upon us if we don't escape!"
Chun's heart was thumping with fear, but he did not move an inch as the goblins fled out the door and disappeared. All night long he stayed right where he was, fearful they would return and find him.
But at dawn, he tiptoed out of the closet, and looked at the treasure all around him. As quickly and as carefully as he could, he filled his sack with as many riches as he could and raced to the door. There he saw a goblin's club left behind, and he took that too!
He raced home as fast as he could. Back home he built a beautiful big house, and he moved his parents into the mansion. Whenever they needed money, he simply thumped his club upon the ground and chanted, "Make gold, make gold, make gold," and whatever he asked for then appeared.
