Four children tried to extort money from an elderly woman after they heard a fairytale about a blackmailing goblin. The three brothers and their sister, aged from four to 12, made a threatening note out of words cut from newspapers and demanded E£600. Their victim called the police who tracked down the children, from Basateen El Maadi, Cairo. The children have been reprimanded, but no charges have been brought. (From Sout Al Omma, April 8)
