"since you are so good at heart as to let me have some food, i'll set you free, that i will. for if the troll comes back and finds you here, he'll kill you outright. but now you must go up to the room which lies just over this, and take a coat of mail out of those that hang there; and mind, whatever you do, don't take any of the bright ones, but the most rusty of all you see, that's the one to take; and sword and saddle you must choose for yourself just in the same way."
