TRANSLATION.
Once upon a time there were three B i l l y Goats. They had long hairy coats, long hairy beards, long hard horns and strong l i t t l e feet with which they climbed steep, rocky h i l l s i d e s . They were c a lle d the three B i l l y Goats Gruff.
Everyday the B i l l y Goats Gruff went to the other side of the h i l l to eat fresh green grass so that they would grow fa t.
Every day they had to cross a bridge.
Under the bridge liv e d a T r o l l , the u g lie s t of ugly t r o l l s ,
I t ' s a very good thing such t r o l l s are no longer found because th is one had eyes as big as saucers, and a long, skinny red nose which stretched from here to here.
One day, the smallest B i l l y Goat Gruff started across the bridge.
TRIP - TRAP,' TRIP - TRAP!
"Who's that crossing my bridge?" roared out the T r o ll from somewhere underneath i t .
" I t is I, the sm allest B i l l y Goat Gruff.
I'm going up the h i l l s i d e to eat grass and to grow f a t / ' said the sm allest B i l l y Goat Gruff in his sm allest, thinnest voice.
"Oh, no, you're not!" y e lle d the T r o ll "I'm coming to gobble you up."
"Oh don't do that! I'm not very b ig ," said the sm allest B i l l y Goat Gruff in an even smaller and thinner voice. "My b ro th er's coming soon. He's much bigger."
" A ll r ig h t, then." grumbled the T r o ll. " I ' l l wait fo r him."
So the sm allest B i l l y Goat Gruff went over the bridge and up the h i l l s i d e .
Before long the second B i l l y Goat Gruff started across the bridge.

"Who's that crossing my bridge?" roared out the T r o ll.
" I t is I, the second B i l l y Goat Gruff. I'm going up the h i l l s i d e to eat grass and to grow f a t . "
"Oh, no you're not'." y e lle d the T r o l l . "I'm going to gobble you up,"
"Now, why should you do that?" asked the second B i l l y Goat Gruff in h is middle-sized voice. "I'm not very big. My b ro th er's coming soon. He's much bigg er,"
" A l l righ t then'." grumbled the T r o l l . " I ' l l wait fo r him."
And so the second B i l l y Goat Gruff went over the bridge and up the h i l l s i d e .
Before long the th ird B i l l y Goat Gruff started to cross the bridge. TRIP - TRAP - TROP:
TRIP - TRAP - TROP!
"Who's that crossing my bridge?" roared out the T r o ll,
" I t is I, the th ird B i l l y Goat G r u f f/ '
answered the th ir d B i l l y Goat Gruff - and his voice must have been every b i t as loud as the T r o l l ' s .
"Uh-aaaaah! I've been w aiting for you.
I'm coming to gobble you up." shouted the T r o ll,
"ARE YOU NOW?" the th ird B i l l y Goat Gruff
answered back. And he ran at the T r o l l , Wheeeel He tossed him with his horns, Sky-high soared the T r o l l . And he cannot ever have come down, because he's not been seen again to th is day.
TRIP - TRAP - TROP TRIP - TRAP - TROP
The th ird B i l l y Goat Gruff crossed the bridge and went up the h i l l s i d e to jo in his brothers.
They ate and ate the fresh sweet green grass. They became so fa t they could hardly walk home,
