Bridge Troll

The first version of the story in English appeared in George Webbe Dasent 's translation of some of the Norske Folkeeventyr , published as Popular Tales from the Norse in The story introduces three Billy goats male goats , sometimes identified as a youngster, father and grandfather, but more often described as brothers.

In other adaptations, there is a baby or child goat, mama goat and papa goat. To do so, however, they must first cross a bridge , under which lives a fearsome and hideous troll , who is so territorial that he eats anyone who tries to cross the bridge.

The smallest billy goat is the first to cross and is stopped abruptly by the troll who threatens to "gobble him up! The greedy troll agrees and lets the smallest goat cross.

The medium-sized goat passes next. He is more cautious than his brother but is also stopped by the troll and given the same threat. The second billy goat is allowed to cross as well after he tells the troll to wait for the biggest billy goat because he is the largest of the three.

The third billy goat gets on the bridge, but is also stopped by the hungry troll who threatens to devour him. However, the third billy goat challenges the troll and dares him to do so.

Then the troll jumps up. The big billy goat gruff knocks him off the bridge with his horns. The troll falls into the stream and is carried away by the current.

From then on the bridge is safe, and all three goats are able to go to the rich fields around the summer farm in the hills, and they all live happily ever after.
