The troll in front has one yellow eye that is as big as a bicycle wheel The eye sits in the middle of his forehead It lights up the path like a flashlight The other two trolls have empty spaces instead of eyes The troll in front is the leader The second troll holds on to the leader's shoulder And the third holds on to the tail of the second All three sniff the path ahead They move faster and faster to catch the humans they smell 6
