In a small town nestled between rolling hills lived a poor couple, in an old, creaky house. With meager means, they managed to keep hearth and home together.

One day, their humble little house started showing signs of dilapidation. The wooden planks creaked more, and the roof leaked in places.

Emma stood in the drenched kitchen, pot in hand, looking worried. James knew they had to do something, but resources were scarce.

That same night, the couple was jolted awake by loud noises. Outside, they saw shadows resembling trolls.

The trolls, huge and menacing, wanted to claim the house. Terrified, Emma and James knew they had to fight back.

With courage, they decided to face the trolls. James grabbed an old shovel, and Emma found a sturdy broom.

Out they went, into the night. The trolls roared at them, but they stood firm. The battle for their home had begun.

As dawn peeked in, the battle continued. Tired and weary, the couple clung to each other, refusing to be defeated.

Hours in, the trolls began to lose energy, surprised by the resilience the couple showed.

Emma, seeing their advantage, urged James, and they pushed harder, driving the trolls back.

The trolls finally fled, running into the forest, leaving the couple victorious. Exhausted, they fell into each other's arms, rejoicing.

The news of their victory spread, and the town folk came to their aid, helping them repair the house and bring it back to its former glory.
