>Boy is abandoned in a forest as a baby

>Rescued by a goblin girl whom hears his shrieks for help

>Goblin has tremendous difficulty caring for a human baby, as she's mentally immature herself, but grows to love him as if he were her own

>Maternal instincts take over, and the rambunctious goblin becomes protective and caring

>Spends her nights scrambling for food, rocking him to sleep, and humming lullabies

>Other goblins poke fun at her for staying in and not playing, instead looking after human baby

>That baby grows up to the goblin's size eventually, taking them all by surprise

>They begin to play together, a mother and son duo that go on adventures throughout the forest

>Boy cannot match his mother's strength, constantly in awe

>Goblin feels immensely fond of her son's accomplishments, foraging for food, giving her gifts, and never leaving her side

>Other goblins simply treat him as her child, never telling him the truth

>One day, the boy's father stumbles across him, recognizing his birthmark

>Boy confronts the goblin who tells him the truth, accepts his father's request to return home

>His goblin mother grows worrisome and lonely the longer he's away, but accepts the boy's place being with humans

>Boy occasionally drops by during travels, increasingly growing taller with each visit, towering over her

>She welcomes him back each time with a smile and they play together like old times

>Years go by

>Goblin girl is old and brittle

>Boy has grown into a man

>One day the goblin girl can no longer play

>The last time the man visits, the goblin can barely lift her drink mug

>As her time nears, the man grabs the old goblin and holds her like she did him as a baby

>Hums the lullaby she sung him, as he rocks her back and forth

>Man becomes distraught, the old goblin answers his worries with a fond smile

>"You're the best thing that's ever happened to me."

>Passes on while holding her son's hand with his small aged fingers
