Okay, why does it say the Spaniard Janet? Since when was this troll Spanish?

Moral

The moral section appears to be completely uncited -- and particularly inapt. The first two goats don't have to overcome anything to get across, just use their wits to ensure that the troll faces the one who can defeat him. Nor does the fairy tale include anything about the grass on the other side being greener.

And the "allegory of capitalism" needs to have some citation if it's not to be a flight of fancy. Goldfritha 03:35, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any moral to this story on the web. We should probably leave them for a little while and then delete them if no other sources can be found. I thought they wanted to go the other side because the grass was greener, so I added that sentence a while ago. If they went to the other side for some other reason, it can be removed. - Peregrinefisher 05:20, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No particular motive for wanting to eat on the other side is given. Any such motive is speculation and inappropriate for discussion of the story's moral. Goldfritha 02:22, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone who has cites can bring it back. Goldfritha 15:02, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the conclusions about the moral are unfounded and certainly not what I would consider being the moral of the story. In my opinion the moral is more along the lines of "don't keep waiting for something better to come along" - or perhaps that's just me taking the troll's side. :-) Supermagle 19:44, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Other Media

If I remember correctly, there was an old Animaniacs episode based on the story of the Billy Goats Gruff. Please, if anyone can confirm this, it would be appreciated.
