said the kitchen-maid , ` but do n't let me find you staying there over the time when the pan has to be set on the fire for supper , and the roast put on the spit ; and mind you bring back a good big armful of wood for the kitchen . ' Minnikin promised this , and ran down to the sea-shore . Just as he got to the place where the King 's daughter was sitting , the Troll came rushing up with a great whistling and whirring , and he was so big and stout that he was terrible to see , and he had five heads . ` Fire ! ' screeched the Troll . ` Fire yourself ! ' said Minnikin . ` Can you fight ? ' roared the Troll . ` If not , I can learn , ' said Minnikin . So the Troll struck at him with a great thick iron bar which he had in his fist , till the sods flew five yards up into the air . ` Fie ! ' said Minnikin . ` That was not much of a blow . Now you shall see one of mine . ' So he grasped the sword which he had got from the old crook-backed woman , and slashed at the Troll so that all five heads went flying away over the sands . When the Princess saw that she was delivered she was so delighted that she did not know what she was doing , and skipped and danced . ` Come and sleep a bit with your head in my lap , ' she said to Minnikin , and as he slept she put a golden dress on him . But when Ritter Red saw that there was no longer any danger afoot , he lost no time in creeping down from the tree . He then threatened the Princess , until at length she was forced to promise to say that it was he who had rescued her , for he told her that if she did not he would kill her .
Then he took the Troll 's lungs and tongue and put them in his pocket-handkerchief , and led the Princess back to the King 's palace ; and whatsoever had been lacking to him in the way of honour before was lacking no longer , for the King did not XXXXX how to exalt him enough , and always set him on his own right hand at table .
