A modern version. Edited from Åsa, Handskerydsskolan, Nässjö – www.lektion.se
Once upon a time there were three goats:
· little Goat,
· medium-Sized Goat, and
· big Goat.
The goats encountered här: drabbade samman med a troll jätte.
Big Goat: I think we should go to the meadow on the other side of the creek today.
Medium-size Goat: Why do you want to go there?
Big Goat: There is a lot of green and juicy grass.
Little Goat: But don’t you know there is a big troll under the bridge?
BG: Of course I know, but he is no problem for us.

MG: Let us go then.
LG: Okay, if you say so.
[The little goat crosses the bridge next.]
T: Hello up there! Who dares to cross my bridge?
LG: Oh it’s only me, the smallest Goat. I’m on my way to the meadow.
T: I’m coming to eat you up!
LG: No, wait a minute, my brother is coming soon and he is bigger than me.
T: Okay, I’ll wait for him.
[The middle goat crosses the bridge next.]
