The Heartwarming Adventure of Bravery, Friendship, and Finding Courage Within.
Some people say that trolls are mean
Their faces angry, their teeth are green.
But in this story you will see
they’re not much different to you and me,
They like to smile and laugh - it’s true!
Though some still eat a goat or two
Grottlebog had big brown eyes
Two big square teeth and loved plum pies
He was quiet, and warm, and thoughtful, and kind
But nervous of the wide world outside
Then one dark day, the quiet broke,
First a CREAK.
Then a bend.
Then with CRASH fell an oak
Into the river and blocking its flow
“MY BRIDGE!”
“MY HOME!”
“I’LL HAVE NOWHERE TO GO!”
What could a troll so small and anxious possibly do to save their home from disaster?!...
...more than they think...
...for even the smallest steps can be heroic.
