About this episode: What is a poor goat family to do when their home isn’t safe anymore? They move to a new land where there is plenty to eat and drink and where they will be safe from the wolves. There’s just one problem: an angry troll who doesn’t like their kind and doesn’t want them in his valley. Will he let the goats cross the bridge, or will he make them turn back? Who will welcome them to this new land?

This story is inspired by current events. Can you guess who the troll is? 
Do you think the goats should be allowed to cross the bridge?
