The giantess was delighted , and challenged him to wrestle with her . Sigurd was fond of all games , and began to wrestle with joy ; but he was no match for the giantess , and as she noticed that he was getting faint she gave him a horn to drink out of , which was very foolish on her part , as it made Sigurd so strong that he soon overthrew her . ` You may stay here to-night , ' said she ; and he was glad of the rest . Next morning Sigurd threw down the ball again and away it rolled for some time , till it stopped at the foot of another high rock . Then he looked up and saw another giantess , even bigger and uglier than the first one , who called out to him : ` Ah , this is just what I wanted ! Here is Prince Sigurd . He shall go into the pot to-night . Come up quickly and wrestle with me . ' And she lost no time in hauling him up . The prince gave her his stepmother 's message and the second largest ring . The giantess was greatly pleased when she saw the ring , and at once challenged Sigurd to wrestle with her . They struggled for a long time , till at last Sigurd grew faint ; so she handed him a horn to drink from , and when he had drunk he became so strong that he threw her down with one hand . On the third morning Sigurd once more laid down his ball , and it rolled far away , till at last it stopped under a very high rock indeed , over the top of which the most hideous giantess that ever was seen looked down . When she saw who was there she cried out : ` Ah , this is just what I wanted ! Here comes Prince Sigurd . Into the pot he goes this very night . Come up here , my friend , and wrestle with me . ' And she hauled him up just as her sisters had done . Sigurd then gave her his stepmother 's message and the last and largest ring . The sight of the red gold delighted the giantess , and she challenged Sigurd to a wrestling match .
This time the fight was fierce and long , but when at length Sigurd 's strength was failing the giantess gave him something to drink , and after he had drunk it he soon brought her XXXXX her knees .
