inspired by Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 10 January 2022, whole.
An adventurous billy goat, Stu,
Crossed a footbridge for pastures anew,
But encountered a troll,
Quickly gobbled him whole,
And then boiled up a leisurely brew.
The Last Billy Goat Gruff

Funnily enough I read that story to the kids last night! But not that version 😅

No, best not to avoid the nightmares! I had to remind myself, but all these fairy tales are online now.
Your post this morning sounded a bit worrying, I hope everything is okay.

I hadn’t heard it since childhood and needed to refresh my memory. It’s a shame they weren’t around or they could have told me!
I got whole and trull and then the light came on in my head!

I had curried goat once, at a Jamaican restaurant. I don’t remember it much, so it can’t have been remarkable.
