Don't you just love when someone takes a well loved traditional take and puts a different spin on it? I do, and this one is great! Everyone knows the story of the three billy goats gruff who want to cross the bridge to the green green grass? The only problem of course being the mean troll who lives under the bridge and vows to eat each passing billy goat.
This lovely story looks at things from the troll's point of view. All he wanted was a nice peaceful home and now has constant headaches and sleepless nights due to all that trip trapping! Who wouldn't be a bit grumpy?
Understandably the billy goats are a bit scared of the troll and his threats but mummy billy goat has an idea. She knits each billy goat a pair of fluffy booties to soften the trip trapping noise! But will it do the job and get them across the bridge without waking the troll?......
This story is a lovely example of looking at a story from another perspective and considering other points of view. Would you dare trip trap over the bridge....?
