I have two big brothers. I want to go across this bridge to eat some green, green grass and apples so that I can be big like my two brothers." Narrator: Little Billy Goat Gruff starts across the bridge. Bridge: "Trip, trap, trip, trap, trip, trap." Narrator: Just as the Little Billy Goat Gruff came to the middle of the bridge, an old troll popped up from under the bridge. Troll: "Who is that walking on my bridge?" Little BG: "It is I, Little Billy Goat Gruff." Troll: "I'm a big, bad troll and you are on my bridge. I'm going to eat you for my lunch." Little BG: "I just want to eat some green, green grass and apples in the meadow. Please don't eat me. I'm just a little billy goat. Wait until my brother comes along. He is much bigger than I am." Troll: "I guess I will. Go ahead and cross the bridge." Little BG: "Thank you very much, you ugly troll." Troll: "What did you call me? Come back here!" Little BG: "Bye!" Bridge: "Trip, trap, trip, trap, trip, trap." Narrator: Little Billy Goat Gruff ran across the bridge. He ate the green, green grass and apples.
