A good guard
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/1_1.mp3
In Asgard the asers live.
They are the good gods.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/1_2.mp3
They have to look out for the evil giants.
There is a fence around Asgard.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/1_3.mp3
It is made of wood.
The fence keeps the evil giants out.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/1_4.mp3
It’s open by the bridge.
The bridge is what we call the rainbow.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/1_5.mp3
There always has to be a guard.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/1_6.mp3
The asers have a very clever guard.
His name is Heimdall.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/2_1.mp3
He hears very well.
He can hear the grass grow.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/2_2.mp3
He can even hear wool growing on sheep.
He also sees very well.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/2_3.mp3
He can see 100 km away,
both day and night.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/2_4.mp3
If he sees a giant getting close,
he blows his horn.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/2_5.mp3
The horn can be heard in the whole world.
Then the asers know they’re going to battle.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/2_6.mp3
An offer
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/3_1.mp3
One day a man arrives to Asgard.
He says: - Your fence isn’t strong enough.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/3_2.mp3
You need a strong wall around Asgard.
A tall wall made from stone.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/3_3.mp3
The asers say: - The fence is good enough.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/3_4.mp3
The man says: - I can build a wall.
The wall will be better than any other wall.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/3_5.mp3
- What do you want in exchange?
ask the asers.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/4_1.mp3
The man says: - I want Freyja for my wife.
I also want the sun and the moon.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/4_2.mp3
Freyja is very beautiful.
She probably doesn’t want him.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/4_3.mp3
Therefore they don’t tell Freyja.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/4_4.mp3
The asers meet by the big tree,
and have a council meeting.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/5_1.mp3
All of the asers think it’s an expensive wall.
Loki likes to tease.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/5_2.mp3
He says: It would be good with a strong wall.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/5_3.mp3
- We could offer the man a difficult deal,
he wouldn’t be able to keep.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/5_4.mp3
- Then you’d get the wall for free.
The asers say: - It would be good with a wall.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/5_5.mp3
But what shall we say?
Loki says: - The man has to build the wall
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/5_6.mp3
- during a winter season.
He has to build it alone.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/5_7.mp3
They tell the man about the deal.
He has to be finished before summer.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/6_1.mp3
He has to build the wall alone.
Otherwise he won’t be paid.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/6_2.mp3
The man says: - That is a difficult deal.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/6_3.mp3
- But I will use my horse.
The horse can fetch the stones.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/6_4.mp3
The asers say:
- That will be fine.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/6_5.mp3
- Then it’s a deal.
I will build the wall on my own.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/6_6.mp3
The wall gets built
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/7_1.mp3
It becomes winter.
The man works day and night.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/7_2.mp3
The asers have never seen anything like it before.
During the day he builds the wall.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/7_3.mp3
During night he fetches the big stones.
But his horse easily manages to do that.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/7_4.mp3
The asers often stand looking.
They say: - What a strong worker the horse is.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/7_5.mp3
- The horse is better than the man.
The wall gets bigger and bigger -
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/7_6.mp3
a solid wall of stones.
No giant can get over it.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/7_7.mp3
Freyja gets angry
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/8_1.mp3
Springtime arrives.
The asers get a little scared.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/8_2.mp3
Perhaps the man will manage to finish the wall.
Freyja angrily shouts:
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/8_3.mp3
- I’m not travelling with that man.
You shouldn’t have made the deal with him.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/8_4.mp3
- But Freyja, say the asers.
- We didn’t believe, he could finish it.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/8_5.mp3
Freyja is really angry. She shouts:
- I don’t want to hear any excuses.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/8_6.mp3
- You could have asked me first.
The answer is NO.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/8_7.mp3
Freyja leaves.
She closes the door with a bang.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/8_8.mp3
What shall they do
The man is probably a giant - a very evil giant.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/9_1.mp3
Only a giant can work like that.
Only a giant would ask for that kind of payment.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/9_2.mp3
Is Freyja now going to travel with a giant?
He also wants the sun and the moon.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/9_3.mp3
The whole world would be covered in darkness.
That would not be ok.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/9_4.mp3
What shall they do?
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/9_5.mp3
Thor isn’t at home.
He’s out hunting trolls.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/9_6.mp3
Thor would be able to handle the giant.
He has his hammer. And Thor is very strong.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/9_7.mp3
They fetch Loki.
The asers say: - It’s your fault.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/10_1.mp3
- Now you have to help.
The man must not finish on time.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/10_2.mp3
Loki says: - It’s not my fault.
The asers say: - You have to think of something.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/10_3.mp3
- Otherwise we’re going to come after you.
In the meanwhile, we’ll get hold of Thor.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/10_4.mp3
Loki thinks about it and says:
- Good. I’ll try.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/10_5.mp3
Loki gets a good idea
Loki goes over to the wall.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/11_1.mp3
The gate is finished.
The wall is almost finished.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/11_2.mp3
The man hasn’t got any more stones.
He calls his horse.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/11_3.mp3
It’s a stallion.
It has to fetch the stones.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/11_4.mp3
Now Loki gets an idea.
He transforms himself into a mare.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/11_5.mp3
Loki can do those kinds of things.
He can transform himself to anything.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/11_6.mp3
The man calls his stallion.
But the mare lures him away.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/12_1.mp3
The mare runs into the forest.
The big stallion runs after her.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/12_2.mp3
He wants to be with the mare.
The next day the man tries to catch his stallion.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/12_3.mp3
But the mare lures him away again.
The whole day passes by like that, and the whole night.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/12_4.mp3
The man hasn’t got any stones.
So he can’t build the wall.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/12_5.mp3
Thor arrives home
It’s the first day of summer.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/13_1.mp3
The wall isn’t quite finished.
The man is aware he won’t be receiving any payment.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/13_2.mp3
He shouts: - You have cheated me.
I could have finished it.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/13_3.mp3
- But I won’t let you get away with it.
The man attacks everyone.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/13_4.mp3
He is shouting all the time.
He tries to hit them.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/13_5.mp3
The asers run away.
They now know, that the man is an evil giant.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/13_6.mp3
Thor arrives home.
They can hear his cart rumbling far away.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/14_1.mp3
When Thor drives his cart
there’s lightning and thunder.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/14_2.mp3
Thor is just by the wall.
The asers shout loudly: - There’s a giant in Asgard.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/14_3.mp3
- He’s very dangerous.
Thor takes his hammer.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/14_4.mp3
He throws it through the air.
Thors hammer hits everything he throws it at.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/14_5.mp3
He’s dead immediately.
Now everyone’s happy.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/15_1.mp3
They finish building the wall themselves.
Now they can live in peace and quiet.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/15_2.mp3
No giant will be able to climb the wall.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/15_3.mp3
A strange foal
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/16_1.mp3
They don’t see Loki for a long time.
He is still a mare, until the mare has a foal.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/16_2.mp3
It is a strange foal.
It has 8 legs.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/16_3.mp3
The foal grows.
They name it Sleipnir.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/16_4.mp3
It will become Odin’s horse.
The horse is great both on land, water and in the air.
book_data/2c_the_walling_of_asgard/lyd/16_5.mp3
