Loki said, "I will dress up too, and be your servant."

When the Frost Giants saw them coming, they said, "Get ready, here
comes the bride! We will sit down to the table as soon as they come."

The dinner was ready on time. The table was full of good things. All

The bride ate a whole ox and eight salmon before the others had a

"She must be very hungry," the Frost Giants said.

Then they brought in the mead.
