Little Billy Once there were three brothers.

They were billy goats. There was Little Billy Goat Gruff. There was Big Billy Goat Gruff. And there was Great Big Billy Goat Gruff.

1

The goats were going up the hill to eat grass. On the way they had to cross a bridge. Little Billy Goat Gruff came to the bridge first.

Little Billy’s feet made a little noise on the bridge: trip trop, trip trop, trip trop.

A Troll lived under the bridge. He liked to eat billy goats best. Soon he would put Little Billy to the test.

2

Big Billy “Who is tramping on my bridge?” said the Troll.

“I am,” said Little Billy Goat Gruff.

“Where are you going?” said the Troll.

“I am going to eat grass on the hill,” said Little Billy Goat Gruff.

3

“Then I am coming to eat you,” said the Troll.

“No, no,” said Little Billy Goat Gruff.

“I am too little to eat. Big Billy Goat Gruff is coming. He is bigger than me.

Eat him.”

“Then be off with you,” said the Troll in a huff. “I shall eat Big Billy Goat Gruff.”

4

Great Big Billy Next came Big Billy Goat Gruff. He had to cross the bridge.

Big Billy Goat’s feet made a big noise: trip trop, trip trop, trip trop.

“Who is tramping on my bridge?” said the Troll.

5

“I am,” said Big Billy Goat Gruff.

“Where are you going?” said the Troll.

“I am going to eat grass on the hill.”

“Then I am coming to eat you,” said the Troll.

“No, no,” said Big Billy. “I am not small, but Great Big Billy is the biggest of all. You must eat him.”

“Then be off with you,” said the Troll in a huff. “I shall eat Great Big Billy Goat Gruff.”

6

Troll Roll Then came Great Big Billy Goat Gruff.

Great Big Billy Goat's feet made the biggest noise on the bridge: Clip clop, clip clop, clip clop!

“Who is tramping on my bridge?” said the Troll.

7

“I am,” said Great Big Billy Goat Gruff. “I am going to eat grass on the hill.”

“Then I am coming to eat you,” said the Troll.

“Come and get me,” said Great Big Billy Goat.

The Troll ran at the billy goat. Great Big Billy Goat bumped the Troll right off the bridge into the water. No one ever saw the Troll again.

Then Great Big Billy Goat found his brothers on the hill. They all ate green grass till they had their fill.
