A re-telling of an old favouriteOnce upon a time there were 3 Billy Goats Gruff. Theywere very hungry but there was a bad troll under thebridge. The little goat crossed the bridge. The troll said,Whos that trip trapping over my bridge? Then the otherone crossed it. The troll didnt notice. Then the biggest onecrossed it. The troll noticed but he butted him into the

river. Splash went the troll. He shouted and shouted.(Abby, aged 5 years, R11)
