The Three Billy Goats Gruff

Once up on a time, there lived three billy goat brothers, Little Billy, Middle Billy, and Big Billy.

One day, they decided to cross the bridge to eat the sweet grass on the other side.

But a mean troll lived under it.

Little Billy started across the bridge.

"Stop there! I am going to eat you up!" yelled Troll.

"Wait for my bigger and more delicious brother," cried Littlr Billy.

Middle Billy started across the bridge.

"Stop there! I am going to eat you up!" yelled Troll.

"Wait for my bigger and more delicious brother," cried Middle Billy.

Big Billy started across the bridge.

"Stop there! Iam going to eat you up!" yelled Troll.

"OK," said Big Billy, for he had a sneaky plan...
