Now read the first paragraph of the report again. There is something wrong with it…

“Sighting of the terrifying troll reported at the Forest Bridge by three local goats. The three goats live in the little yellow house next to a nice grassy field, where they like to play chase and hide and seek, and they probably enjoy having picnics there too! They heard the thundering shouts coming from below the bridge, as they tried to cross it on the evening of 16 April.”
