The Stone Trolls 

On the Western Coast of Iceland, in an underground house, there was once a gathering of trolls. They were huge, mischievous creatures who were feared by everyone. All trolls knew that if they were ever caught by a glitch of sunlight, they would immediately turn into stone. So, every night, under the cover of darkness, they would venture out to hunt and fish.

One rainy night, two horrible trolls called Amroy and Aran flopped on top of a cold mountain. Above them they saw grey, dark clouds. Below them they saw a scary, deep and dark river.

Suddenly, Amroy spotted two hikers running on a wet edge on a cliff. ” We need to help them, let’s go.” Said Aran.

Carefully, they tiptoed to the edge of the cliff. The two trolls told them “please don’t play on the edge of the cliff, play somewhere else!” They talked and they talked. Time passed. Finally, the hikers moved somewhere else for safety.

At that moment, a shimmer of sunlight shone. Horrified, their neck stiffened, their fingers froze and their hearts stopped. Both trolls instantly turned to stone forever.
