The next morning when the Prince awoke he saw with amazement that a beautiful citron tree was growing outside of his window. Its trunk was silver, and its leaves were silver, and on the branch nearest his window hung three silver citrons, and they were exactly like the silver citrons he had brought from the Troll's home under the mountain.
"It was only the Troll's well-water," she said, and went home as fast as her feet would carry her. As she neared her own door, she heard sounds of splashing and screaming in a shrill piping voice; and on entering, saw Terli struggling violently in the tub of Church water, the little bowl of butter-milk lying spilt upon the floor. "Take me out! Take me out!
"Assington!"... "In Essex?" the chorus broke in upon him. "It happened as Grimalf said "... " the horse with the bloody saddle which he found over the hill "... "Do you know for certain if Edric "... "Why will you interrupt him?"... "Yes, end this talk!"... "Go on, go on!" "I also say go on, in the Troll's name!" the Jotun roared.
But Boots stuck out his tenpenny nail, and she cut at it. 'Nay! nay! he's as hard as iron still', said the Troll's daughter, when she got back to her father; 'we can't take him yet. After another eight days the same thing happened, and this time Boots stuck out his birchen pin. 'Well, he's a little better', she said, when she got back to the Troll; 'but still he'll be as hard as wood to chew.

But then he, too, was so weak and wretched, it was as much as he could do to stir a limb, and so full of wounds, that the blood streamed from him. So he said to the King's daughter she must take the horn of ointment that hung at the Troll's belt, and rub him with it.
He would cause some trouble, for which the king would be severely spoken to, but he would answer for it that no harm would befall him. The king gladly agreed to all that the youth proposed, and it was now high time for them to set out. When they came to the troll's dwelling it was no longer in the bank, but on the top of this there stood a large castle which the youth had never seen before.
When the old Troll heard that, he came in and begged and prayed so prettily that he might not be smitten to death. 'Well, you may live', said the lad, 'but you shall undergo the same punishment you gave me'; and so he burned out the Troll's eyes, and turned him adrift on the sea in a little boat, but he had no lions to follow him.
So he got leave to do that; but at the same time that he grasped the plait of hair, he pulled back her head, and at one gash, cut off the Troll's daughter's head; and half of her he roasted and half of her he boiled, and served it all up. After that he dressed himself in her clothes, and sat away in the corner.
