And now they journeyed on for many , many days , and then after a long , long time they came to a silver wood . The trees , and the boughs , and the leaves , and the flowers , and everything else was of silver . Before the Bull went into the wood , he said to the King 's daughter : ` When we enter into this wood you must , for Heaven 's sake , be very careful not to touch anything at all , and not to pluck off even so much as one leaf , or else all will be over both with you and with me . A Troll with six heads lives here , who is the owner of the wood , and I do not think I should be able to overcome him . ' ` Yes , ' said the King 's daughter , ' I will take good care not to touch what you do not wish me to touch . ' But when they got into the wood it was so crowded , and the trees so close together , that they could scarcely get forward . She was as careful as she could be , and bent aside to get out of the way of the branches , and thrust them away from before her with her hands ; but every instant a branch struck against her eyes , and in spite of all her care , she happened to pull off one leaf . ` Oh ! oh ! What have you done now ? ' said the Bull . It will now cost us a battle for life or death , for this Troll has six heads and is twice as strong as the other , but do be careful to keep the leaf . ' Just as he said this came the Troll . ` Who is that who is touching my wood ? ' he said . ` It is just as much mine as yours ! ' ` We shall have a tussle for that ! ' screamed the Troll . ` That may be , ' said the Bull , and rushed at the Troll , and gored out his eyes , and drove his horns right through him so that his entrails gushed out , but the Troll fought just as well as he did , and it was three whole days before the Bull got the life out of him . But the Bull was then so weak and worn out that it was only with pain and effort that he could move , and so covered with wounds that the blood streamed from him .
So he told the King 's daughter to take the horn of ointment that was hanging at the Troll 's belt , and anoint him XXXXX it .
