The Brave Goats and the Hungry Troll
Once upon a time, in a land not too far away, there lived three goats. There was a big goat, a middle-sized goat, and a little goat. They lived happily on a beautiful mountain, where the grass was always green and the sun always shone. One day, the middle-sized goat decided to explore beyond the mountain. He crossed a river and came across a bridge. Little did he know, this bridge was owned by a hungry troll. As the middle-sized goat stepped onto the bridge, the troll appeared and said, "Oh, it's you, the middle-sized goat. I've been waiting for you. I'm going to eat you up!" The middle-sized goat was terrified and pleaded with the troll, "Please, Mr. Troll, don't eat me. I have a bigger brother who would make a much better meal for you. Wait for him, and you won't be disappointed." The troll agreed and let the middle-sized goat go. The goat ran as fast as he could back to the mountain, where he found his big brother waiting. They were both relieved to be safe and together again. The next day, the big goat decided to venture up the mountain. He crossed the river and approached the bridge where the troll lived. As he stepped onto the bridge, the ground shook and the bridge bent under his weight. The troll appeared and was surprised to see such a big goat. But the big goat was not afraid. He stood tall and said, "I am the biggest goat there is, and I am not afraid of you, Mr. Troll. You will not eat me today." The troll was taken aback by the big goat's bravery and decided to let him pass. The big goat continued on his journey, enjoying the sunshine and the fresh grass on the mountain. And so, the brave goats outsmarted the hungry troll and lived happily ever after on their mountain. They taught us that courage and cleverness can overcome any challenge, no matter how big or scary it may seem. Remember, dear readers, to always believe in yourself and face your fears head-on. Just like the brave goats, you have the power to overcome any obstacle that comes your way.
