So one day Thor and other of his friends were feasting. But then they ran out of mead. So they said "Oh the mead ran out so we must go to bed now."
But Thor wanted to get more mead for them so he set off in his chariot pulled be goats. He found a house and the people in the house were hungry so he let them kill one of his goats. But he told them that they had to leave him the skin and the bones because he needed those. So the mother and father ate all they could and they left the bones and the skins for Thor. But when Thor went to go to sleep the oldest son of the father and the mother was hungry and couldn't go to sleep because of Thors snoring so he got one of the bones and he broke it in half and sucked on the marrow. When Thor woke up he was ready to head off but then he found out that one of the bones were broken. He said "Who broke my goats thigh bone?"
"I did." said the oldest son boldly.
"Then you will become my servant." said Thor.
So the oldest son went with Thor as a servant in the chariot of goats.
When they landed Thor was tired so he asked the oldest some to go find a place to rest for the night. So the oldest son went and after a while came back and told Thor "There is a cave with five rooms and it is dry." So they set off to the cave but then they heard some snoring and Thor got mad and said "Only I make the sounds like that." and went to go see what was making that sound. It was a giant snoring. He was very mad and brought his hammer and hit it as hard as he could between the snorers eyes. That blow would've knocked a tree right into the ground like a matchstick but the snorer snorted and flicked at his forehead and said "Oh stupid flies."He opened his eyes and saw Thor. "Oh who is this little man."
"I am Thor." said Thor "Well won't you invite me to dinner?"
"Oh of course." said The giant. So Thor went to eat and he saw the mead
"May I have some mead?" he asked.
"Yes of course." said the giant. So he drank as much as he could and he felt like he was going to explode but barely any of the cup had been drunken.
"Are you ok?" asked the giant. "Maybe you should play with my cat for a while." So when the cat pawed at him and pinned him down he pushed it over. And then the giant asked "Would you like to wrestle my grandma?" and when he tried to attack her she pinned him down to the ground.
"Well do you think you can steal my kettle now?" asked the giant
Thor shook his head.
"Then let me tell you what you have done. When you swung down your hammer you hit the ground so hard that you cracked it three miles wide and a mile deep. When you drank the mead you were drinking from the sea and you drank so much it lowered a lot that I was scared that you would empty the sea. And when you lifted my cat you lifted the Midgard Serpent so high that it reached the sky, you should not have been able to budge it though. But when you faced the old woman you couldn't beat her because she is Old Age and no one can defeat Old Age even the strongest men can not beat Old Age. Thor was furious and went to attack them but everything disappeared into the air and he was swinging his hammer into the air.
