«So they lived peacefully with ogres who had ome eye or dragons (of whom
there were a lot in those days). They didn’t leap into the sea every time
they saw a mermaid comb her hair on a rock, they simply said, „Good morning”.

on Saturday and that if trolls wanted to wear their beards so long that they
stepped on them every time they walked, then that was entirely their own
affair.»
