……and the troll was never seen again.

We have been reading the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff. At the end of the story the troll who lived under the bridge was never seen again. What do you think happened to the troll? Where did he go? What did he do next? Why did he never come back to live under the bridge again? Draw a picture and write your own sentences about what you think happened to the troll.
