It was going to take him ages, to get there, he couldn't fly. Not like those silly fairies, bumble bees and butterflies.
So Ichymus the Goblin, (who lived in ancient Greece), threw a tantrum on a tree branch, on which hung a golden fleece.
So Ichymus the goblin, left the tree and went to see, if there was a way for him to emulate a bee.
To flutter like a butterfly, if he could only find a way, to make himself some fairy wings, he could fly there straight away.
He'd heard about some humans, who lived nearby in Crete, who made some wings with feathers, maybe this would work a treat?
So with his little sling and shot, he went off then to hunt, and made some wings of feathers, but wore them back to front.
As he flapped his little wings, they pushed him to the ground, so he gave up on the feather idea, unaware they were the wrong way round.
That's it! He thought, Eurika! I'll go and look to see, If I can steal myself some wings, from a sleeping bumble bee?
So off went the Goblin Ichymus, to search the meadow wide, and as his luck would have it, he found a bumble bee that had died.
It didn't take too long to realise, that this was never going to work, stood with bee wings strapped to his arms, he just felt like a Burke!
To make it worse, some fairies, where floating slowly by, and when they stopped to laugh at him, it made poor Ichymus cry.
The fairies showed no mercy, and laughed more at his tears. (as well as that they took the piss out of his pointy goblin ears)
The little Goblin Ichymus was getting quite annoyed, and with a stroke of Epicness, the dead bee's stinger he employed.
He jabbed it in a fairy, which instantly dropped dead, and as the other fairies quickly flew away, he strapped on the fairy wings instead.
They got him off the ground at first, then he crashed down with a bump, not knowing he needed fairy dust, this was giving him the hump.
Next he ate a butterfly and worked with the remains, but again his plans where thwarted, he wasn't making any gains.
He designed the worlds first helicopter, but he just couldn't get the parts. He'd almost given up on flying, co's it was proving much to hard.
After several more attempts, his passion for flight was dead. He went and put his fleece on, and got the train instead.
