What is Billy Goats Gruff about?
Three hungry billy goats want to reach the green grass on the mountain, but a fierce troll guards the bridge. The smallest goat crosses first and cleverly persuades the troll to wait for a bigger meal. The middle goat uses the same trick, leaving the largest goat to face the troll. When the troll discovers that the biggest goat is not an easy target, the brave billy goat charges across the bridge, sending the troll tumbling away. At last, all three goats enjoy the mountain grass.
