Three Billy Goats Gruff

Grade 1, Cashman Elementary School, Amesbury, Massachuettes


Once upon a time there were Three Billy Goats Gruff who wanted to get to the sweet meadow grass. To get to the sweet grass, they had to cross an arched bridge.

Unfortunately, there lived a mean, old, ugly troll under this bridge.

As the littlest goat “clattered” onto the bridge the mean old troll asked, “Who’s trip trapping across my bridge?”

When the little goat said it was “just me” the troll threatened to eat him up. The littlest troll told him his older brother was much fatter, so the troll let him go, as he wanted a bigger meal.

The second goat started over the bridge and the troll said the same thing and guess what? This second goat told him his older brother was even fatter.

The troll was greedy, so he let this one go, as a bigger goat was about to come along.

Oh, he was bigger, but so were his horns!

As the troll jumped upon the bridge to eat him, the big horned brother gave him a giant “head –butt” and the troll was propelled over the bridge into the river and drowned.

The End and the Three Billy Goats Gruff lived “happily ever after.”
