` And he can not pay , ' said she ; ' I know that for certain . Now you must , first of all , give up your service with my father ; the three years are past , and you are at liberty to go . You will go off with your six bushels of money , to the kingdom that I have told you of , and there enter the service of the king . When the time comes near for his debt becoming due you will be able to notice by his manner that he is ill at ease . You shall then say to him that you know well enough what it is that is weighing upon him -- that it is the debt which he owes to the troll and can not pay , but that you can lend him the money . The amount is six bushels -- just what you have . You shall , however , only lend them to him on condition that you may accompany him when he goes to make the payment , and that you then have permission to run before him as a fool . When you arrive at the troll 's abode , you must perform all kinds of foolish tricks , and see that you break a whole lot of his windows , and do all other damage that you can . My father will then get very angry , and as the king must answer for what his fool does he will sentence him , even although he has paid his debt , either to answer three questions or to lose his life . The first question my father will ask will be , `` Where is my daughter ? '' Then you shall step forward and answer `` She is at the bottom of the sea . '' He will then ask you whether you can recognise her , and to this you will answer `` Yes . '' Then he will bring forward a whole troop of women , and cause them to pass before you , in order that you may pick out the one that you take for his daughter . You will not be able to recognise me at all , and therefore I will catch hold of you as I go past , so that you can notice it , and you must then make haste to catch me and hold me fast . You have then answered his first question . His next question will be , `` Where is my heart ? '' You shall then step forward again and answer , `` It is in a fish . '' `` Do you know that fish ? '' he will say , and you will again answer `` Yes . '' He will then cause all kinds of fish to come before you , and you shall choose between them .
I shall XXXXX good care to keep by your side , and when the right fish comes I will give you a little push , and with that you will seize the fish and cut it up .
