It is not wonderful that both the cup and the beggar vanished; but we are to understand that the beggar was a troll. Perhaps he was. In Thyholm, a district of Denmark, there is a range of lofty mounds formerly inhabited by trolls. Some peasants who were once passing by these mounds prayed the trolls to give them some beer.
'I'm sure I can't tell how to put this lad out of the way he is so awfully strong; can't you think of some way? 'No, said the old dame, 'if you can't tell, I'm sure I can't. 'Well! said the Troll, 'I have two brothers in a castle; they are twelve times as strong as I am, and that's why I was turned out and had to put up with this farm.
At the end of that time, however, a falling tree split the sides of the carved stone basin into fragments, and the Troll, escaping with the water which flowed out, darted from the Churchyard and safely reached his old home in the bed of the mountain torrent.
Sewers side-walkers forsooth troll carries, ho ho!" Rebecca grew red with fury. She released her hold to thump her companion twice on the arm and nearly fell from the horse in consequence. "You great rascal!" she cried, indignantly. "How dare ye talk 'bout drinkin' ale! D'you s'pose I'd touch the nasty stuff? Me a member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union!
'Nay, dear friend! said the Troll, 'only spare me, and I'll help you to hew. Well, on those terms the lad was willing to spare him, and the Troll hewed so bravely, that they felled and cut up many, many fathoms in the day. But when even drew near, the Troll said: 'Now you'd better come home with me, for my house is nearer than yours.
The troll placed a powerful and majestic hoof on one of Lambert's flippers. "Excuse me," he said. "But I told you that you have no further work to do here. Please pick up your toys and get off of my ranch. And take your disobedient helpers with you. Also, you may have as many milkweed pods as you can carry. I'll never let it be said that I am heartless." "But, master!" stammered Lambert.
At the same moment the curtains were drawn aside a little, and a head appeared in the opening of so terrifying an aspect, that anybody but Victor would have taken to his heels. But he, who knew exactly how to treat a troll, looked steadily at the glowing pipe-bowl; for that is exactly what the troll looked like as he stood blowing rings through the parted curtains.
Ratu Lala started to troll with live bait, as we had come across several women fishing with nets, and on our approach they chanted out a greeting to Ratu Lala, and in return he helped himself to a lot of their fish. Ratu Lala had fully a dozen large fish after his bait, and some he hooked for a few seconds.
Take your boat and go; but leave this boy with me I can find work for him, though something tells me he is quick and cunning, and will do me ill. 'What harm can a poor boy like me do a great Troll like you? answered Pinkel. 'Let me go, I pray you, with my brothers. I will promise never to hurt you. And at last the witch let him go, and he followed his brothers to the boat.
It would be no trick at all for the huge clawlike troll hands to snatch the child from her. Of course he could not take the baby out of her arms in a dangerous spot like this, for that might cause the trolls to act. Murmurs and whispers now passed from tree-troll to tree-troll; the branches creaked as if they were about to bestir themselves.
