Muddy and murky waters lie under a bridge that seems to go nowhere. It is made of cobblestone and just as long as it is wide. Beneath it live a hideous troll that makes people pay to cross.
Troll's bridge, Swamp

troll
I am a big hairy troll that lives under the bridge. No one dares to come this way out of fear. I am not necessarily mean, but people won't see me that way. The way I look is scary, but that is not my fault. I only want to be accepted by everyone.
Yes it is, but its my home. If that is what you like then who am I to judge you troll. I am small but I lov ethe sun, I need it to keep warm and so I stay above ground. I must have fallen near your bridge and so am seeking passage so I can return to sun bathing. You may have passage for a small toll. But why should I pay a toll. What could you possibly want from a lizard so small Because this is my home, you would want something if people walk over your home all the time. But people do. They walk over it, through it and even under it but I do not charge a toll. Tell me troll, why have you become so angry with people? You are a very argumentative for such a small thing. People see me as a scary troll, all i want is to be accepted by everyone. I accept you troll. Not many people like scaly lizards so when i try to stay warm near thier homes they shoo me away or try to kill me. You've made a nice home fr your self under this cobblestone bridge. Why not just live here and ignore those walking by, just going on with thier lives. The more you bring attention to yourself with the tolls, the more people will hate you. If you are kind to people, maybe they will learn to love you Why should i be kind to people, who aren't nice to me? I only ask a toll as the amount of people that cross damage my home. It helps me pay for the repair. My only toll to you was for us to sit and chat for a while. It gets very lonely when your a Troll. A vicious circle. I understand but I can also see why the people may fear you. It is lovely chatting with you troll, I too like the comany though I am getting very cold, can i sit on you to keep warm before moving on? Aww, thank you mr Lizard, come and get warm with me then i will take you to the top so you can get warm in the sun. Thank you troll, I don't think i'll have the energy to move so that will be very kind of you. See troll, you can be kind, you should let people see that. Just because you live under a muddy murky bridge, doesn't make you scary or horrible. It's what's on the inside that countssss .... *falls asleep*
