The wind began to rise , but Halvor thought that he had not seen enough yet , and that he would like to walk about a little longer , to try if he could not meet somebody . So after a while he came to a great highway , which was so smooth that an egg might have been rolled along it without breaking . Halvor followed this , and when evening drew near he saw a big castle far away in the distance , and there were lights in it . So as he had now been walking the whole day and had not brought anything to eat away with him , he was frightfully hungry . Nevertheless , the nearer he came to the castle the more afraid he was . A fire was burning in the castle , and Halvor went into the kitchen , which was more magnificent than any kitchen he had ever yet beheld . There were vessels of gold and silver , but not one human being was to be seen . When Halvor had stood there for some time , and no one had come out , he went in and opened a door , and inside a Princess was sitting at her wheel spinning . ` Nay ! ' she cried , ` can Christian folk dare to come hither ? But the best thing that you can do is to go away again , for if not the Troll will devour you . A Troll with three heads lives here . ' ' I should have been just as well pleased if he had had four heads more , for I should have enjoyed seeing the fellow , ' said the youth ; ` and I wo n't go away , for I have done no harm , but you must give me something to eat , for I am frightfully hungry . ' When Halvor had eaten his fill , the Princess told him to try if he could wield the sword which was hanging on the wall , but he could not wield it , nor could he even lift it up . ` Well , then , you must take a drink out of that bottle which is hanging by its side , for that 's what the Troll does whenever he goes out and wants to use the sword , ' said the Princess . Halvor took a draught , and in a moment he was able to swing the sword about with perfect ease . And now he thought it was high time for the Troll to make his appearance , and at that very moment he came , panting for breath . Halvor got behind the door . ` Hutetu ! ' said the Troll as he put his head in at the door .
` It smells just as if there were XXXXX man 's blood here ! '
