"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 do not 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. A little while after came the second Billy Goat Gruff across the bridge. "Trip, trap! trip, trap! trip, trap!" went the bridge. "_Who is that tripping over my bridge_?" roared the Troll. "Oh, it's the second Billy Goat Gruff, and I'm going up to the hillside to make myself fat," said the Billy Goat. Nor had he such a small voice, either. "Now, I'm coming to gobble you up!" said the Troll. "Oh, no! don't take me, wait a little till the big Billy Goat comes, he's much bigger." |
