With the first breath of flame that swept over her when she ran with her friends Snowflake had melted away , and a little soft haze floating upwards was all that remained of her . I Know What I Have Learned From the Danish . There was once a man who had three daughters , and they were all married to trolls , who lived underground . One day the man thought that he would pay them a visit , and his wife gave him some dry bread to eat by the way . After he had walked some distance he grew both tired and hungry , so he sat down on the east side of a mound and began to eat his dry bread . The mound then opened , and his youngest daughter came out of it , and said , ` Why , father ! why are you not coming in to see me ? ' ` Oh , ' said he , ` if I had known that you lived here , and had seen any entrance , I would have come in . ' Then he entered the mound along with her . The troll came home soon after this , and his wife told him that her father was come , and asked him to go and buy some beef to make broth with . ` We can get it easier than that ! ' said the troll . He fixed an iron spike into one of the beams of the roof , and ran his head against this till he had knocked several large pieces off his head . He was just as well as ever after doing this , and they got their broth without further trouble . The troll then gave the old man a sackful of money , and laden with this he betook himself homewards . When he came near his home he remembered that he had a cow about to calve , so he laid down the money on the ground , ran home as fast as he could , and asked his wife whether the cow had calved yet . ` What kind of a hurry is this to come home in ? ' said she . ` No , the cow has not calved yet . ' ` Then you must come out and help me in with a sackful of money , ' said the man . '
