    If it weren't for us you'd be speaking German. Instead, you'll be speaking Arabic.

    A Little Man Held The Mill Wheel

    Once they had a great deal of grinding to do at Bodanäs. They kept the mill going day and night, yet they could not get it all done.

    One evening the mill stopped altogether, even though the water was running as usual. The miller checked in the wheel house, and there he saw a little old man holding the wheel. Then the miller understood what was the matter, and he threw a coin into the chute. After that the mill worked amazingly well, and the miller finished his grinding all at once.

    The Vätters

    Vätters, according to the Northern belief, are creatures that live under ground, but often appear above, and then in human form so perfect that they have many times been mistaken for mankind. They live, as do the trolls and giants, in mountains, but more often move from one to another, and it is mostly during these journeys that they are seen.

    When the parish of Ockilbo was first settled, the Vätters were so plentiful that a peasant who fixed his abode near the Rönn Hills was forced to build his windows high up near the eaves of his cottage to escape seeing the troublesome multitude of these beings that continually swarmed around.

    Despite the disposition of the cottager to have nothing to do with the Vätters, he could not avoid getting into complications with them at times.

    One evening, when the wife went to drive the goats into the goat house, she saw among hers two strange goats, having horse hoofs instead of cloven hoofs, as should be. Do her utmost, it was impossible to separate them from the others. They pressed on, and were locked up with the rest.

    In the night she was awakened by a heavy pounding on the walls, and a voice from without called:

    "Let us be neighbourly, mother, and return my goats to me."

    The woman dressed herself and hastened to the goat house, where the strange animals were making a dreadful uproar. On her opening the door, they sprang out and hurried to the forest. From it, she heard the Vätters shouting and calling them.

    Thus a friendly feeling was forever established between the cottager and the Vätters, and from that day there were no more disturbances.

    The Troll Who Was Turned to Stone

    Two men were riding south over the Kerlingarskarđ. One was named Ólafur, but nobody can remember the name of the other man. On the pass they met a troll woman who said:

    "Ólafur the Mouth,

    are you heading south?

    Things will work out well.

    But I predict, poor crooked jaw,

    you'll leave without a straw.

    Then Ólafur answered:

    "Look to the east, there's a man riding on a white horse!

    The troll woman looked, but just then, the first rays of dawn appeared, and she was turned to stone.
