Baby Groot Faces Mountain Troll

He came down from the mountain to find a wife. He looked under toadstools, pulling them up by the root. Go get somebody who can stop him, we screamed with strife. Someone came running back with baby Groot. What good is he? We asked. How can he stop this troll? The troll tore down a stone wall, uprooting worm and mole. Baby Groot spoke to the mountain troll in a language he knew. Troll sprouted some vines, and they began to grow anew. Pretty soon he was standing as an oak with very pretty leaves. How did you do that? We asked Baby Groot, who gave a little sneeze. I told him if he became an oak, I would find him a wife. Baby Groot kept looking for one, until the end of his life.

Fun read, Caren. Moral: When life's trolls give you gray, pull 'em out by the groots!
