This video starts off like any billy goat story. Three billy goats were running down the mountainside one day singing and having a good time. When they got to the bottom, the youngest billy goat told the oldest billy goat, his grandfather, that he was hungry. He noticed all of the grass on the other side of the bridge and stated how he thought it was the juiciest grass he has ever seen. Right before the littlest billy goat crosses the bridge, the grandfather goat stops him and informs him that he cannot cross because of the troll that lives under the bridge. All three goats want to be able to eat the greenest and freshest grass they have ever seen, so they come up with a plan. First little billy goat crosses the bridge and makes the troll come out. Right before the troll comes and eats him, the little billy goat tells him to wait for his older brother becuase he has more meat that he can eat. Since the troll is so hungry, he decides to let the little goat cross the bridge so he can wait for his older brother to get more meat. Next, of course, the middle billy goat crosses the bridge and makes the troll come out. Just before the troll eats the middle billy goat, he convinces him to wait for his grandfather for he will make a whole meal rather than just a snack. So off the middle billy goat goes across the bridge along with his younger brother. Lastly the grandfather billy goat crosses the bridge and makes the troll come out. Once the grandfather troll tells the troll that he is the biggest of them all, the troll dashes torwards him at the same time that grandgather dashes torward the troll. CRASH! Grandfather billy goat knocks the troll of the bridge with his horns and is able to cross the bridge along with the little and middle billy goats. They now can eat all the fresh, green grass that they want.
