No sooner had Minnikin got down to the strand than the Troll came rushing along with a great whistling and whirring , and he was twice as big as the first Troll , and he had ten heads . ` Fire ! ' shrieked the Troll . ` Fire yourself ! ' said Minnikin . ` Can you fight ? ' roared the Troll . ` If not , I can learn , ' said Minnikin . So the Troll struck at him with his iron club -- which was still bigger than that which the first Troll had had -- so that the earth flew ten yards up in the air . ` Fie ! ' said Minnikin . ` That was not much of a blow . Now you shall see one of my blows . ' Then he grasped his sword and struck at the Troll , so that all his ten heads danced away over the sands . And again the King 's daughter said to him , ` Sleep a while on my lap , ' and while Minnikin lay there she drew some silver raiment over him . As soon as Ritter Red saw that there was no longer any danger afoot , he crept down from the tree and threatened the Princess , until at last she was again forced to promise to say that it was he who had rescued her ; after which he took the tongue and the lungs of the Troll and put them in his pocket-handkerchief , and then he conducted the Princess back to the palace . There was joy and gladness in the palace , as may be imagined , and the King did not know how to show enough honour and respect to Ritter Red . Minnikin , however , took home with him an armful of gold and silver hoops from the Troll 's ship . When he came back to the King 's palace the kitchen-maid clapped her hands and wondered where he could have got all that gold and silver ; but Minnikin answered that he had been home for a short time , and that it was only the hoops which had fallen off some pails , and that he had brought them away for the kitchen-maid . When the third Thursday evening came , everything happened exactly as it had happened on the two former occasions .
Everything in the King 's palace was hung with black , and everyone was sorrowful and distressed ; but Ritter Red said that he did not think that they had much reason to be afraid -- he had delivered the King 's daughter XXXXX two Trolls , so he could easily deliver her from the third as well .
