` We can get them much more easily than that , ' said the troll . ` Give me your dough trough and your ladle . ' They seated themselves in the trough , and rowed out on the lake which was beside the mound . When they had got out a little way the troll said to his wife , ` Are my eyes green ? ' ` No , not yet , ' said she . He rowed on a little further and asked again , ` Are my eyes not green yet ? ' ` Yes , ' said his wife , ` they are green now . ' Then the troll sprang into the water and ladled up so many fish that in a short time the trough could hold no more . They then rowed home again , and had a good meal off the fish . The old man now got three sacks full of money , and set off home with them . When he was almost home the cow again came into his head , and he laid down the money . This time , however , he took his wooden shoes and laid them above the money , thinking that no one would take it after that . Then he ran home and asked his wife whether the cow had calved . It had not , and she scolded him again for behaving in this way , but in the end he persuaded her to go with him to help him with the three sacks of money . When they came to the spot they found only the wooden shoes , for a thief had come along in the meantime and taken all the money . The woman was very angry , and broke out upon her husband ; but he took it all very quietly , and only said , ` Hang the money ! I know what I have learned . ' ` What have you learned I should like to know ? ' said his wife . ` You will see that yet , ' said the man .
One day his wife took a fancy for broth , and said XXXXX him , ` Oh , go to the village , and buy a piece of beef to make broth . '
