Beware

In case you were wondering, I have it on good authority* that a troll lives under this bridge. A mean one. With fangs.

*Little Bit. (Hey, 6 year olds know this stuff.)

Some say trolls could be destroyed by sunlight or turned to stone by light of any kind.
If you learned the name of a troll and spoke it aloud you could steal the troll’s power (think of the fairy tale Rumpelstiltskin as one example).
Lighting bonfires at crossroads kept trolls away from these intersections.
Trolls were especially fond of stealing babies and seducing wives.; July 24, 2011 at 5:19 AM

Dixie Jane said...: I was wondering who was doing all of this baby stealing and wife seducing. Now I know. Fangs are obviously not a deterrent.; July 24, 2011 at 7:50 AM
Steve Buser said...: I'm guessing from the height of the bridge, it's a short troll. I think it would be safe to guess that "shorty" is at least his nickname.; July 24, 2011 at 6:40 PM
Laurie Allee said...: Mister Earl, you win for the laptop comment!
