The Troll Story

There once was an orange haired troll named Grerro. He lived in a cave
with a lot of other amazing creatures. One day he found out just how
amazing those other creatures really were.

Grerro was playing by the big lake. He was watching the mermaids chase
the fish in a game of fast fin. All of a sudden he heard crying coming from
deeper in the cave. It sounded like someone was hurt. He ran towards the
direction the crying had come from. It started getting louder and louder.
Then he saw a little fairy laying on the ground crying. Grerro asked "What
is wrong little fairy"?

She replied "I hurt my wing and I don't know how I'm going to get home".

Grerro picked her up very carefully so he didn't hurt her wing. He said
"I'll take you home little friend". Grerro started walking back toward the
fairy tree that grew out of the middle of the lake. When he got to the lake
he realized that he couldn't swim with the fairy in his hands. He didn't
know what to do. Just then a mermaid swam by chasing a red-tailed snipper
fish. Grerro asked the mermaid "Do you know how I can get this little fairy
home to the fairy tree. The mermaid swam away really fast. Grerro thought
that maybe she didn't hear him. Then just as quickly as she swam away she
swam back with all of the other mermaids.

She said "We will take you to the fairy tree Mr. Troll". All of the
mermaids grabbed arms and made a little raft. It was just big enough for
Grerro to sit on. Once he was sitting on the mermaid raft they swam towards
the fairy tree.

Once they made it to the tree Grerro realized that he couldn't climb the
tree with the fairy in his hands. He looked at the little fairy and said
"I'm sorry but I don't know how to get you up in your tree.

The fairy sang a little song and the tree started moving. It was all of
the fairies coming down to help carry her into her tree. They all lifted
her from Grerro's hands very slowly. Before she left she said "Thank you"
to Grerro and the mermaids. The mermaids took Grerro back to the land and
he thanked them again for their help. Grerro felt good. Because everyone
cared so much and was so helpful the little fairy made it home safe and
sound.
