The Three Billy Goats Gruff

Did you know one of the most famous fairy tales is about three goats and a terrifying troll?

Three goats, all named Billy Goat Gruff, wanted to cross a bridge to fatten

up in the mountains. Under the bridge lived a huge troll with eyes like plates and a nose as long

as a broomstick. First, the smallest goat crossed. Trip trap!

“WHO IS TRIPPING ON MY BRIDGE?” roared the troll. “Please wait for the next goat,

I’m too small!” Next, the middle goat crossed. Trip trap,

trip trap! “WHO IS TRIPPING ON MY BRIDGE?” growled the troll. “Wait for the biggest

goat, he’s much bigger!” Finally, the BIGGEST Billy Goat Gruff crossed.
