Troll Under the Bridge

“‘Now I'm coming to gobble you up,’ said the troll. ‘Oh, no! Don't take me. Wait a little till the big Billy Goat Gruff comes. He's much bigger.’ ‘Well, come along! I've got two spears, 
And I'll poke your eyeballs out at your ears;
 I've got besides two curling-stones,
 And I'll crush you to bits, body and bones.’ That was what the big billy goat said. And then he flew at the troll, and poked his eyes out with his horns, and crushed him to bits, body and bones, and tossed him out into the cascade, and after that he went up to the hillside.” Where he taught the other billy goats in a rape aggression defense class that was held weekly (Quote from Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe’s The Three Billy Goats Gruff, edited by Sisters Grimm)
