Baby goat-eating troll

Baby goat-eating troll

There was a baby goat eating troll who looked a lot like a human body builder - large throbbing veins, oversized muscles, a very red face. But he wasn't a human body builder; he was a troll. And he liked to eat little baby goats. Well, as he explained, he didn't like to. Rather, he had to for his nutritional needs. Anyway, he would eat the baby goats but spit out the goat fur and bones.


These were used for crafting by the local babies. They wouldn't go near the troll but they would take the fur and bones and craft items such as kites, drum kits, high chairs, mechanical goats. The babies sat in their goat-fur-and-bone high chairs in a circle, very tired from all their crafting, feeling safe, eyelids getting heavy, dreaming about fur-and-bone kites being flown by babies running on a breezy day.


The bodybuilder troll told the babies they didn't have to be afraid of him - he only ate baby goats, not baby humans, and only because he had to. He also said that he appreciated their crafting abilities, and in order to help them he'd spit the fur and the bones into ordered piles - large items down to small, to make it easier for the babies to craft in future.
