Troll Troubles

Dear diary,

I love my little house underneath the bridge in the valley but I get very grumpy when I hear grubby, little goats trotting over the top of it when I am trying to sleep. One morning, three goat brothers made a plan to cross my bridge; they knew it would make me cross. One at a time, they bashed their hooves across the bridge. When I went outside to tell them to be quiet, the biggest goat pushed me with his horns and I fell off the bridge into the river. I was furious! I think I’m going to move house.
