Once upon a time, there was a grumpy troll who lived under a bridge. He would snort and toss stones at anyone who tried to pass by. One day, a curious billy goat stumbled upon the bridge and wanted to cross it. The troll wouldn't let him pass, so the goat had an idea.

The goat asked the troll if he needed help fixing his home. The grumpy troll was surprised but agreed. The goat found that the troll's home was falling apart and into disrepair. The goat used his handy skills and fixed the troll's home. The troll was so grateful that he offered to let the goat pass the bridge without any trouble.

The goat happily crossed the bridge, but then he heard a snort. He turned around to see the troll tossing something at him. It was a bag of candy! The goat was so happy that he thanked the troll and went on his way. From that day on, the troll was no longer grumpy and the goat would visit him every now and then.

The end.
