As a kid I read & re-read an OLD tattered book titled, "Billy Goat Gruff & The Three Trolls." The trolls lived under a bridge & scared the bejiggers out of all who passed! So, when Chief crossed all those W.P.A. bridges that he helped build, I always had my dumb head out the window lookin' for trolls! Do cow bells stave off TROLLS? or would my rubber chicken suffice?? or maybe my Rat Terrier?? Bill W.
