After some time had passed the man had a mind to visit his second eldest daughter . His wife again gave him some dry bread to eat , and when he grew tired and hungry he sat down on the east side of a mound and began to eat it . As he sat there his daughter came up out of the mound , and invited him to come inside , which he did very willingly . Soon after this the troll came home . It was dark by that time , and his wife bade him go and buy some candles . ` Oh , we shall soon get a light , ' said the troll . With that he dipped his fingers into the fire , and they then gave light without being burned in the least . The old man got two sacks of money here , and plodded away homewards with these . When he was very nearly home he again thought of the cow that was with calf , so he laid down the money , ran home , and asked his wife whether the cow had calved yet . ` Whatever is the matter with you ? ' said she . ` You come hurrying as if the whole house was about to fall . You may set your mind at rest : the cow has not calved yet . ' The man now asked her to come and help him home with the two sacks of money . She did not believe him very much , but he continued to assure her that it was quite true , till at last she gave in and went with him . When they came to the spot there had again been a thief there and taken the money . It was no wonder that the woman was angry about this , but the man only said , ` Ah , if you only knew what I have learned . ' A third time the man set out -- to visit his eldest daughter . When he came to a mound he sat down on the east side of it and ate the dry bread which his wife had given him to take with him . The daughter then came out of the mound and invited her father to come inside .
In a little the XXXXX came home , and his wife asked him to go and buy some fish .
