So the King 's daughter told Minnikin that the Troll was out trying to get hold of someone who could brew a hundred lasts of malt at one brewing , for there was to be a feast at the Troll 's , at which less than that would not be drunk . ' I can do that , ' said Minnikin . ` Ah ! if only the Troll were not so quick-tempered I might have told him that , ' answered the Princess , ` but he is so ill-natured that he will tear you to pieces , I fear , as soon as he comes in . But I will try to find some way of doing it . Can you hide yourself here in the cupboard ? and then we will see what happens . ' Minnikin did this , and almost before he had crept into the cupboard and hidden himself , came the Troll . ` Huf ! What a smell of Christian man 's blood ! ' said the Troll . ` Yes , a bird flew over the roof with a Christian man 's bone in his bill , and let it fall down our chimney , ' answered the Princess . ' I made haste enough to get it away again , but it must be that which smells so , notwithstanding . ' ` Yes , it must be that , ' said the Troll . Then the Princess asked if he had got hold of anyone who could brew a hundred lasts of malt at one brewing . ` No , there is no one who can do it , ' said the Troll . ' A short time since there was a man here who said he could do it , ' said the King 's daughter . ` How clever you always are ! ' said the Troll . ` How could you let him go away ?
You must have known that I was just wanting a man XXXXX that kind . '
