The fool spoke up and said , ` She is at the bottom of the sea . ' ` How do you know that ? ' said the troll . ` The little fish saw it , ' said the fool . ` Would you know her ? ' said the troll . ` Yes , bring her forward , ' said the fool . The troll made a whole crowd of women go past them , one after the other , but all these were nothing but shadows and deceptions . Amongst the very last was the troll 's real daughter , who pinched the fool as she went past him to make him aware of her presence . He thereupon caught her round the waist and held her fast , and the troll had to admit that his first riddle was solved . Then the troll asked again : ` Where is my heart ? ' ` It is in a fish , ' said the fool . ` Would you know that fish ? ' said the troll . ` Yes , bring it forward , ' said the fool . Then all the fishes came swimming past them , and meanwhile the troll 's daughter stood just by the youth 's side . When at last the right fish came swimming along she gave him a nudge , and he seized it at once , drove his knife into it , and split it up , took the heart out of it , and cut it through the middle . At the same moment the troll fell dead and turned into pieces of flint . With that a , ll the bonds that the troll had bound were broken ; all the wild beasts and birds which he had caught and hid under the ground were free now , and dispersed themselves in the woods and in the air . The youth and his sweetheart entered the castle , which was now theirs , and held their wedding ; and all the kings roundabout , who had been in the troll 's debt , and were now out of it , came to the wedding , and saluted the youth as their emperor , and he ruled over them all , and kept peace between them , and lived in his castle with his beautiful empress in great joy and magnificence .
And if they have not died since they are living there XXXXX this day .
