I am no coward , ' says Sigurd ; ` why do you want me to fight with this dragon ? ' Then his tutor , whose name was Regin , told him that all this great hoard of red gold had once belonged to his own father . And his father had three sons -- the first was Fafnir , the Dragon ; the next was Otter , who could put on the shape of an otter when he liked ; and the next was himself , Regin , and he was a great smith and maker of swords . Now there was at that time a dwarf called Andvari , who lived in a pool beneath a waterfall , and there he had hidden a great hoard of gold . And one day Otter had been fishing there , and had killed a salmon and eaten it , and was sleeping , like an otter , on a stone . Then someone came by , and threw a stone at the otter and killed it , and flayed off the skin , and took it to the house of Otter 's father . Then he knew his son was dead , and to punish the person who had killed him he said he must have the Otter 's skin filled with gold , and covered all over with red gold , or it should go worse with him . Then the person who had killed Otter went down and caught the Dwarf who owned all the treasure and took it from him . Only one ring was left , which the Dwarf wore , and even that was taken from him . Then the poor Dwarf was very angry , and he prayed that the gold might never bring any but bad luck to all the men who might own it , for ever . Then the otter skin was filled with gold and covered with gold , all but one hair , and that was covered with the poor Dwarf 's last ring . But it brought good luck to nobody . First Fafnir , the Dragon , killed his own father , and then he went and wallowed on the gold , and would let his brother have none , and no man dared go near it . When Sigurd heard the story he said to Regin : ` Make me a good sword that I may kill this Dragon . ' So Regin made a sword , and Sigurd tried it with a blow on a lump of iron , and the sword broke . Another sword he made , and Sigurd broke that too . Then Sigurd went to his mother , and asked for the broken pieces of his father 's blade , and gave them to Regin . And he hammered and wrought them into a new sword , so sharp that fire seemed to burn along its edges . Sigurd tried this blade on the lump of iron , and it did not break , but split the iron in two . Then he threw a lock of wool into the river , and when it floated down against the sword it was cut into two pieces .
So Sigurd said XXXXX sword would do .
