  In the distance they saw a golden meadow - the perfect place for them to live, eat, and play.  To get to the golden meadow, theres an old stone bridge they had to cross on the way.  Underneath the old stone bridge there lived a river Troll.  If you tried to cross the bridge you had to pay his toll.  He was a very grumpy, very hungry, and very angry Troll.
