SCENE ONE

(In a field near an old bridge)

Narrator 1:Once upon a time there were three Billy Goats Gruff. There were a Little Billy Goat Gruff, a Middle-sized Billy Goat Gruff, and a Big Billy Goat Gruff.

(The Billy Goats Gruff walks slowly on the stage)

Narrator 2:The Billy Goats Gruff were hungry because they had nothing to eat.

(The Billy Goats Gruff looks unhappy)

Narrator 1:So they wanted to cross the bridge to eat the grass on the other side of the hill.

LBG: (Eagerly) I want to cross the bridge now.

MBG:Dont do it. The Troll under the bridge will eat you up.

LBG:(Angrily) I dont care! I am very hungry.

BBG:All right. Be careful.

Narrator 2:So the Little Billy Goat Gruff went first, trip- trap, trip- trap over the bridge.

(The LBG crosses the bridge silently)

Troll:(Loudly)Whos that crossing over my bridge?

LBG:(Timidly) Its only me, the Little Billy Goat Gruff.

Troll:(Loudly) Im going to come and eat you up.

LBG:(Timidly) Oh please dont eat me. Wait for my brother, the Middle-sized Billy Goat Gruff. Hes much bigger than I am.

Troll:Oh, very well. Off you go.

Narrator 1:So the LBG crossed the bridge quickly.

(Sound of a goat walking over the bridge-trip-trap, trip-trap, trip-trap)

SCENE 2

(In the field near the old bridge)

MBG: (Saying confidently) Now its my turn. Im bigger and stronger than my little brother. Im sure I can cross the bridge.

BBG:All right. Be careful.

Narrator 1:The Middle-sized Billy Goat started to cross the bridge.

Troll:(Loudly) Whos that crossing over my bridge?

MBG:Its only me. The Middle-sized Billy Goat Gruff.

Troll:Im going to come and eat you up!

MBG:Oh, please dont eat me. Wait for my brother, the Big Billy Goat Gruff. Hes much bigger than I am.

Troll:Oh very well. Off you go.

Narrator 2: The Middle-sized Billy Goat Gruff crossed the bridge quickly.

(Sound of a goat walking over the bridge-trip-trap, trip-trap, trip-trap)

SCENE 3

(In the field near the old bridge)

BBG:(Saying aloud to himself) Now its my turn. I must cross the bridge to meet my brothers.

LBG & MBG: (Saying aloud on the other side of the hill) Come on, big brother! Were waiting for you. The grass is green and sweet here.

Narrator 1:The Big Billy Goat Gruff started to cross the bridge.

Troll:(Loudly) Whos that crossing over my bridge?

BBG:Its only me, the Big Billy Goat Gruff.

Troll:Im going to come and eat you up!

BBG:Come on then, just come and get me!

Narrator 2: The Troll climbed up the bridge. The Big Billy Goat Gruff put down his horns and charged at him. The Troll fell into the river.

BBG:Wow! I can cross the bridge now.

(The BBG crossed the bridge very quickly!)

LBG & MBG:Hurray! Hurray! We can eat the grass here now.

Narrator 1:So the Billy Goats Gruff lived happily ever after. No one had ever seen the Troll again.
