  • There is a great merchant with a beautiful daughter
  • The merchant wants the king to marry her
  • The King's brahmans saw her beauty and said she had bad qualities
  • The king did not marry her but gave her to a general and they lived happily
  • The king saw her again and was taken with her beauty
  • The general wanted to give his wife to the king but the king would not have it
  • The king withered away and died due to his yearning for love
  • The general burned himself because his king was dead
  • The goblin asked the king who was more deserving to die
  • The king says the king in the story and the goblin escapes and goes back

A tree like one the goblin would have been in (Source)
