What DID happen to that troll?

It was the favourite story of a little girl I used to babysit. She had a nasty habit of sucking a dummy (comforter?) and learned to speak around it, so that, as all our mothers warned us, her front teeth stuck out. As a result, she couldn't pronounce her 'T's, they came out as 'K's.

Being her favourite story, she loved to join in, particularly when the goats went 'trip trap, trip trap, over the rickety bridge'. We very rarely got through the story without hysterical laughter.

You may need to say it aloud, as she would had said it.....

PS, agree, far too much nastiness and thread hijacking - same ol' same ol'.... it should improve.
