 As Told By: Momiji (fruits basket)

Once upon a time,

There was this foolish traveler who had gone on a journey. Why was he foolish? Well because he was fooled by everyone he'd met.

Everywhere he went people made up all kinds of sad stories to tell him, and the traveler fell for every one of them.

Pretty soon his money, his clothes, even his shoes have been cheated away from him, but the foolish traveler was always glad to help and he always told people the same thing; I wish you happiness.

But by this point, the traveler was completely naked and nothing left to cover himself he decided to leave the main road and travel through the dense forest where no one can see him.

But soon he was discovered by the goblins that lived in the woods.

The goblins wanted to eat the traveler's body, so they begged and pleaded and used kind words to try and trick him.

 Of course, the traveler was fooled.

First, he let the goblins eat one of his legs, then an arm, then more and more.

After it was over all the traveler had left was his head.

 He'd even given his eyes away to the last of the goblins.

And as the last goblin was eating the traveler's eyes, he turned and said, "Thank you, traveler. In return I leave you this present."

All the goblin left was this piece of paper with the word fool written on it.

The traveler couldn't see it, he didn't know what it was.

Even so, tears began to float out of his face.

"Thank you," he said, "This is the first present anyone's ever given me, I'm so happy!"

Even without his eyes, he cried with tears of joy.

Then, the traveler died, the smile still on his face.
