0:28:50 > 0:28:57.

0:29:06 > 0:29:11Hmm, that's interesting, I wonder where that is?

0:29:11 > 0:29:13Oh, hello, I'm Kimberley.

0:29:13 > 0:29:15I was reading the adverts in the newspaper.

0:29:15 > 0:29:19I thought I might like a new house, but I'm not sure where.

0:29:19 > 0:29:24It would have to be a very pretty place with lots of open space.

0:29:24 > 0:29:26Hmm, and not too much noise.

0:29:26 > 0:29:31Not like the home Mr Troll has in tonight's story.

0:29:31 > 0:29:34It's by Rachael Mortimer and Liz Pichon

0:29:34 > 0:29:37and it's called The Three Billy Goats Fluff.

0:29:38 > 0:29:40Trip-trap.

0:29:40 > 0:29:42Trip-trap.

0:29:46 > 0:29:48How was he supposed to sleep?

0:29:48 > 0:29:53Mr Troll buried his head in his pillow and groaned.

0:29:53 > 0:29:56He looked back at the newspaper advertisement.

0:29:56 > 0:29:59How could he have been so stupid?

0:30:00 > 0:30:04"Troll Paradise, fine riverside apartment

0:30:04 > 0:30:09"with slimy toads and running beetle juice. Bargain.

0:30:09 > 0:30:11"Great pad for sale."

0:30:11 > 0:30:16Something had to be done. What the advertisement had NOT said

0:30:16 > 0:30:20was, "Noisy, underneath the only bridge from the Rocky Mountain

0:30:20 > 0:30:25"to the lush green field. A room with a rubbish view."

0:30:25 > 0:30:29On the mountain next to the bridge lived the Three Billy Goats Fluff.

0:30:29 > 0:30:35They loved to eat the lush green grass in the field by the bridge.

0:30:35 > 0:30:37It made their fleeces extra fluffy -

0:30:37 > 0:30:41important for Mother Goat's knitting business.

0:30:41 > 0:30:44The goats crossed the bridge twice a day.

0:30:44 > 0:30:47But this morning, Mr Troll had a surprise for them.

0:30:47 > 0:30:50He'd put up a notice.

0:30:50 > 0:30:56"No trip-trapping over my bridge. Trip-trappers will be eaten."

0:30:56 > 0:31:01Little Billy Goat Fluff could not yet read, so he set off as usual.

0:31:01 > 0:31:07He'd just put one hoof on the bridge when Mr Troll leapt out.

0:31:07 > 0:31:12"I'm a troll with a very sore head! Stop trip-trapping over my bed!

0:31:12 > 0:31:15"When I'm tired and feeling blue,

0:31:15 > 0:31:18"there's nothing quite like Little Goat stew!"

0:31:18 > 0:31:21Little Billy Goat was very scared

0:31:21 > 0:31:24and scampered back to Mother Goat.

0:31:24 > 0:31:27Next came Middle-Size Billy Goat Fluff.

0:31:27 > 0:31:30His hooves were louder than Little Billy Goat's.

0:31:30 > 0:31:33Mr Troll leapt out again.

0:31:33 > 0:31:39"I'm a troll in a very bad mood. Waking me up is terribly rude.

0:31:39 > 0:31:42"Middle-Size Goat makes a lovely roast,

0:31:42 > 0:31:45"or tasty pate upon my toast!"

0:31:45 > 0:31:48Middle-Sized Billy Goat raced back to Big Billy Goat.

0:31:48 > 0:31:51They were both too scared to cross the bridge.

0:31:51 > 0:31:56"We'll tell our mum about you," they shouted.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58Mother Goat listened to her Billy Goats

0:31:58 > 0:32:01and she thought about Mr Troll.

0:32:01 > 0:32:03She knew what it was like to live without sleep.

0:32:03 > 0:32:07Little Billy Goat still woke her up every night.

0:32:07 > 0:32:12That night, as she knitted booties from the finest Billy Goat fluff,

0:32:12 > 0:32:15Mother Goat had an idea.

0:32:15 > 0:32:18The next day, Mr Troll was waiting for them.

0:32:18 > 0:32:21"I'm a troll as tired as can be.

0:32:21 > 0:32:25"I'm going to have goat and mash for my tea!"

0:32:25 > 0:32:29Big Billy Goat Fluff trembled as he handed Mr Troll

0:32:29 > 0:32:32a note and a present from Mother Goat.

0:32:32 > 0:32:34"If you can hear us trip-trap by,

0:32:34 > 0:32:37"then you can make three Billy Goat pie.

0:32:37 > 0:32:40"But if we're quiet as tiny mice,

0:32:40 > 0:32:45"you must stop being grumpy and start being nice."

0:32:45 > 0:32:49Little Billy Goat Fluff was the first to try out Mother's plan.

0:32:49 > 0:32:53He shakily put on the hand-knitted hoof muffs.

0:32:53 > 0:32:57They were so fluffy - bright yellow, his favourite colour.

0:32:57 > 0:33:01Slowly, he stepped out onto the bridge.

0:33:01 > 0:33:03Mr Troll listened from his bedroom.

0:33:05 > 0:33:07Nothing.

0:33:07 > 0:33:08"Nothing?"

0:33:08 > 0:33:12Middle-Sized Billy Goat Fluff was next.

0:33:12 > 0:33:17His hooves were quaking as he put on four exceedingly fluffy hoof muffs.

0:33:17 > 0:33:21Pink. Middle-Sized Billy Goat was a real softy.

0:33:21 > 0:33:25Carefully, he stepped out onto the bridge.

0:33:25 > 0:33:28Mr Troll had his ear pressed to the roof.

0:33:28 > 0:33:31He couldn't hear a thing.

0:33:31 > 0:33:34Finally, it was Big Billy Goat Fluff's turn.

0:33:34 > 0:33:37His hoof muffs had taken most of the night.

0:33:37 > 0:33:42With four huge pom-poms on his hooves, he stepped onto the bridge.

0:33:42 > 0:33:45Mr Troll strained his ears.

0:33:45 > 0:33:48Ah, silence at last!

0:33:48 > 0:33:51How had they done it?

0:33:51 > 0:33:54Mr Troll came out from under the bridge.

0:33:54 > 0:33:58He looked at the three goats tucking into the lush grass in the field.

0:33:58 > 0:34:03He looked at his present from Mother Goat and then he opened it.

0:34:03 > 0:34:04BLEATING

0:34:04 > 0:34:08Inside were the fluffiest ear muffs he had ever seen.

0:34:08 > 0:34:12wrapped inside one of Mother Goat's special blankets.

0:34:12 > 0:34:17"Dear Mr Troll, we are very sorry for waking you up.

0:34:17 > 0:34:21"We hope this gift helps you have your best sleep ever.

0:34:21 > 0:34:25"Love from Mother Goat and the Three Billy Goats Fluff."

0:34:25 > 0:34:29That night, Mr Troll drank a hot mug of beetle juice,

0:34:29 > 0:34:31he read his favourite bedtime story,

0:34:31 > 0:34:34then he put on his fluffy ear muffs

0:34:34 > 0:34:37and cuddled into his soft green blanket.

0:34:37 > 0:34:42For the first time in his new house, he slept and slept.

0:34:42 > 0:34:46He dreamed of fluffy clouds, fluffy toads, fluffy beetle juice,

0:34:46 > 0:34:50and best of all, his new, quiet friends -

0:34:50 > 0:34:53the Three Billy Goats Fluff.

0:34:53 > 0:34:57And that story was called The Three Billy Goats Fluff.

0:34:57 > 0:35:02I hope you have sweet dreams tonight and sleep and sleep like Mr Troll,

0:35:02 > 0:35:05because it's time for you lot to go to bed.

0:35:05 > 0:35:09I'll see you soon for another Bedtime Story. Night-night.

0:35:09 > 0:35:13Now, let's see if I can find the perfect place to live.
