Description
This photography of this little guy reminds me of the little wee Billy Goat Gruff Folktale.
Here is only the first part of “Three Billy Goats Gruff.”
Once upon a time there were three billy goats, who were to go up to the hillside to make themselves fat, and the name of all three was "Gruff."
On the way up was a bridge over a cascading stream they had to cross; and under the bridge lived a great ugly troll , with eyes as big as saucers, and a nose as long as a poker.
So first of all came the youngest Billy Goat Gruff to cross the bridge.
"Trip, trap, trip, trap! " went the bridge.
"Who's that tripping over my bridge?" roared the troll.
"Oh, it is only I, the tiniest Billy Goat Gruff , and I'm going up to the hillside to make myself fat," said the billy goat, with such a small voice.
Hope you enjoyed this part. I was surprised how graphic and violent the folktale really is but I guess it was a sign of the times when it was first created way back when.
Thanks in advance for liking, commenting, sharing and purchasing.
