In the classic tale "Three Billy Goats Gruff," three clever goats—each larger than the last—set out to cross a bridge to reach lush green pastures. However, a fearsome troll lives beneath the bridge, intent on stopping them. The smallest goat crosses first, outsmarting the troll by claiming his larger brother is much tastier. The middle goat follows, using the same tactic to outwit the troll. Finally, the largest goat confronts the troll directly and, in a show of strength, charges at him, sending him fleeing. With the troll gone, the goats enjoy their delicious new grazing grounds, unbothered at last. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].

Three Billy Goats Gruff
Three hungry billy goats spot a meadow full of yummy grass across a river. The only way to reach the meadow is across a wooden bridge, but the bridge is guarded by an ungly troll who eats anyone who crosses without his permission. The billy goats decide to try their luck, and the smallest goes first. When the troll threatens to gobble him up he persuades him to wait for a bigger meal in the form of the second billy goat, and is allowed to cross. The middle billy goat promises his bigger brother as a meal and he too is allowed to cross. When the third billy goat tries to cross the bridge the troll is determined to eat him, but the third billy goat is the biggest billy goat and he uses his large horns to toss the troll into the river. Then he crosses in safety and is able to join his brothers to fill their tummies with grass from the lovely meadow.
