Capa de The Three Billy-Goats Gruff

Once on a time there were three Billy-goats, who were to go up to the hill-side to make themselves fat, and the name of all three was “Gruff”.

Era uma vez três Bodinhos, que iam subir a encosta do morro para engordar, e o nome dos três era "Gruff".

On the way up was a bridge over a burn they had to cross; and under the bridge lived a great ugly Troll, with eyes as big as saucers, and a nose as long as a poker.

No caminho havia uma ponte sobre um riacho que eles tinham que atravessar; e debaixo da ponte vivia um grande e feio Troll, com olhos do tamanho de pires, e um nariz comprido como um atiçador de fogo.

So first of all came the youngest billy-goat Gruff to cross the bridge.

Então, primeiro veio o bodinho Gruff mais novo, para atravessar a ponte.

“Trip, trap; trip, trap!” went the bridge.

"Trip, trap; trip, trap!" fazia a ponte.

“WHO’S THAT tripping over my bridge?” roared the Troll.

"QUEM está passando por cima da minha ponte?" rugiu o Troll.

“Oh! it is only I, the tiniest billy-goat Gruff; and I’m going up to the hill-side to make myself fat”, said the billy-goat, with such a small voice.

"Ah! sou só eu, o bodinho Gruff mais pequenininho; e estou subindo o morro para engordar", disse o bodinho, com uma vozinha bem fraquinha.

“Now, I’m coming to gobble you up”, said the Troll.

"Pois então, vou te devorar", disse o Troll.

“Oh, no! pray don’t take me. I’m too little, that I am”, said the billy-goat; “wait a bit till the second billy-goat Gruff comes, he’s much bigger.”

"Ah, não! por favor, não me pegue. Sou muito pequeno, sou mesmo", disse o bodinho; "espere um pouco até que o segundo bodinho Gruff apareça, ele é bem maior."

“Well! be off with you”, said the Troll.

"Está bem! pode ir", disse o Troll.

A little while after came the second billy-goat Gruff to cross the bridge.

Um pouco depois veio o segundo bodinho Gruff atravessar a ponte.

“TRIP, TRAP! TRIP, TRAP! TRIP, TRAP!” went the bridge.

"TRIP, TRAP! TRIP, TRAP! TRIP, TRAP!" fazia a ponte.

“WHO’S THAT tripping over my bridge?” roared the Troll.

"QUEM está passando por cima da minha ponte?" rugiu o Troll.

“Oh! it’s the second billy-goat Gruff, and I’m going up to the hill-side to make myself fat”, said the billy-goat, who hadn’t such a small voice.

"Ah! é o segundo bodinho Gruff, e estou subindo o morro para engordar", disse o bodinho, que não tinha uma voz tão fraquinha.

“Now, I’m coming to gobble you up”, said the Troll.

"Pois então, vou te devorar", disse o Troll.

“Oh, no! don’t take me, wait a little till the big billy-goat Gruff comes, he’s much bigger.”

"Ah, não! não me pegue, espere um pouco até que o bodinho Gruff grande apareça, ele é bem maior."

“Very well! be off with you”, said the Troll.

"Muito bem! pode ir", disse o Troll.

But just then up came the big billy-goat Gruff.

Mas foi então que apareceu o grande bodinho Gruff.

“TRIP, TRAP! TRIP, TRAP! TRIP, TRAP!” went the bridge, for the billy-goat was so heavy that the bridge creaked and groaned under him.

"TRIP, TRAP! TRIP, TRAP! TRIP, TRAP!" fazia a ponte, pois o bodinho era tão pesado que a ponte rangia e gemia debaixo dele.

“WHO’S THAT tramping over my bridge?” roared the Troll.

"QUEM está pisoteando a minha ponte?" rugiu o Troll.

“IT’S I! THE BIG BILLY-GOAT GRUFF”, said the billy-goat, who had an ugly hoarse voice of his own.

"SOU EU! O GRANDE BODINHO GRUFF", disse o bodinho, que tinha uma voz rouca e feia só sua.

“Now, I’m coming to gobble you up”, roared the Troll.

"Pois então, vou te devorar", rugiu o Troll.

Well, come along! I’ve got two spears, And I’ll poke your eyeballs out at your ears; I’ve got besides two curling-stones, And I’ll crush you to bits, body and bones.

Pois bem, venha então! Tenho duas lanças, E vou furar seus olhos para fora pelas orelhas; Tenho também duas pedras de curling, E vou te esmagar em pedacinhos, corpo e ossos.

That was what the big billy-goat said; and so he flew at the Troll and poked his eyes out with his horns, and crushed him to bits, body and bones, and tossed him out into the burn, and after that he went up to the hill-side. There the billy-goats got so fat they were scarce able to walk home again; and if the fat hasn’t fallen off them, why they’re still fat; and so:

Foi isso que o grande bodinho disse; e assim ele avançou contra o Troll e furou seus olhos com os chifres, e o esmagou em pedacinhos, corpo e ossos, e o jogou no riacho, e depois disso subiu o morro. Lá os bodinhos ficaram tão gordos que mal conseguiam andar de volta para casa; e se a gordura ainda não caiu deles, então continuam gordos; e assim:
