Once upon a time, in a green meadow next to a river, there lived three billy goats named Gruff. The troll would never let anyone pass, and he would roar and shout, “Who’s that trip-trapping over my bridge?” Little did the billy goats know, they were about to embark on an adventure that would test their wits and courage.
The Story:
Once upon a time, in a green meadow next to a river, there lived three billy goats named Gruff.
One day, the smallest billy goat Gruff was feeling hungry and decided to cross the bridge to eat some sweet green grass on the other side. As he trip-trapped across the bridge, the troll appeared and blocked his way, roaring, “Who’s that trip-trapping over my bridge?” The little goat cleverly tricked the troll into letting him pass by telling him to wait for his bigger brother.
The second billy goat Gruff soon crossed the bridge, and the troll appeared again, roaring the same question, “Who’s that trip-trapping over my bridge?” The second goat also tricked the troll into letting him pass by telling him to wait for his biggest brother, who was much bigger and fatter than him.
Finally, the biggest billy goat Gruff stepped onto the bridge, and the troll appeared once again, shouting, “Who’s that trip-trapping over my bridge?” The biggest goat was not afraid of the troll and charged at him with his horns, knocking him off the bridge and into the river below.
The Moral:
The moral of the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff is to not be afraid of bullies and to use your wits and courage to overcome them. The three billy goats were initially afraid of the fierce troll and were afraid to cross the bridge, but they ultimately used their cleverness and bravery to outsmart the troll and cross the bridge safely. The story teaches us that we can overcome obstacles by being smart and brave, even when faced with difficult challenges or intimidating bullies.
Conclusion:
From that day on, the three billy goats Gruff could cross the bridge and eat the sweet grass in the meadow without fear of the fierce troll.
