EspañolTHREE BILLY GOATS GRUFF
'''Three Billy Goats Gruff''' is a famous traditional fairy tale of Norwegian origin, in which three goats cross a bridge, under which is a fearsome troll who tries to prevent them from crossing it. ''Three Billy Goats Gruff'' is an "eat-me-when-I'm-fatter" tale (Aarne-Thompson type 122E). The fairy tale was collected by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe in their ''Norske Folkeeventyr''.
★ In the Fables comic book created by Bill Willingham, it is revealed that the witch from Hansel and Gretel enchanted the goats to battle the troll. At least one escaped the Adversary and lives up
★ In the episode Treehouse of Horror XI of ''The Simpsons'', Bart and Lisa respectively are seen as Hansel and Gretel. Lisa has a book of fairy tales to stay one step ahead, but they come to a bridge. Lisa warns Bart there is a troll living under the bridge, like in the Three Billy Goats Gruff, and the troll resembles Moe Syzlak. He jumps out to scare "Hansel" and "Gretel", but then says, "I came on too strong again! I am so lonely!"
★ In the episode ''Troll Bridge'' of the ''Real Ghostbusters'' series, the Ghostbusters have to deal with a bunch of nefarious Trolls blocking one of New York's main bridges.
★ In the Elder Scrolls game Oblivion there is a "bridge troll" that commits suicide because he thinks he "isn't scary enough." The troll's body is found floating under the bridge with a suicide note.
★ The story was adapted into a popular children's musical at Barter Theatre in Abingdon, Virginia in the summer of 2007. It was called "Billy, Goat, & Gruff: The Musical" and was written by Gwen Edwards and Ben Mackel.
★ SurLaLune website: annotated ''Three Billy Goats Gruff'' in the version from Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe, ''Popular Tales from the Norse'' George Webbe Dasent, translator. Edinburgh: David Douglass, 1888.
