For Category #16: Fairy Tales

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.

"Now, I'm coming to gobble you up," said the troll.

"Oh, no! pray don't take me. I'm too little, that I am," said the billy goat. "Wait a bit till the second Billy Goat Gruff comes. He's much bigger."

"Well, be off with you," said the troll.

The Larger Goat arrives on queue and pulls the same stunt, and trolls being what they are, achieved the same result. And now since the number three is big in the fairy tale world, we know something interesting it going to happen: the Largest Goat comes and is a bit larger than anticipated. He brutally and gruesomely slays the troll and all three Billy Goats Gruff live happily ever after.

Thanks to my team for giving me the drive I needed to spend the hours on this that it required, and helping me out with the build. Especially the troll's awesome hands.
