В давние-предавние времена истории, названные позже "волшебными сказками", взращивались затем, чтобы развлекать не детей, но взрослых, и лишь затем были укрощены, подстрижены и превращены в менее шипастые цветы для детворы.

История о самом обычно тролле по имени... Тролль (мама его была лишена фантазии), живущем под мостом и считающем, что все беды от коз, а потому надо питаться чем-то безопасным - вроде травы и кореньев.
