what a clever fellow he was and he forgot to watch where he was going and he lost his way he walked and walked and walked trying to find his way out of the dark forest for night was falling very tired he finally laid down near a big cave [Music] you [Music] then Pierre seemed to hear a strange sound but he fell asleep not knowing that what he had heard came from deep within the mountain cave it was the noise of a troll people strange little creatures who were afraid of the Sun and came out only
after dark he awoke for a moment then he fell into a deep sleep he could hear the trolls no longer though pierre could not hear them the trolls heard Pierre and they waited until they were sure he was sound asleep very slowly softly they crept out of the cave [Music] the trolls quickly formed a circle around here [Music] then quietly the trolls carried the sleeping Pierre far underground to the dark hall of the Mountain King Pierre a wolf he was surrounded by trolls and they're sitting on a huge throne Pierre saw the largest and ugliest
