The Tale of Harbard, part 1

It happened once, they Thor, having drunk a great deal of beer, he began to boast of deeds, which he did in Jotunheim. He was telling, whether someone wanted to listen or not, what pogroms he has done among Thurss, and how dread his name fills them. He also said, if not him, Thor, it is the day of the Last Battle long ago, so he, Thor, he should sit on the Throne of the World - Hlidsjalf, and not Odin. For what is all the wisdom of the Father of Gods and this handful of warriors?, which he gathered at Valhalla with his, Torah, strength and courage. After all, it is known, that when it comes to the Final Battle, even with a poor "wolf."” he won't be able to cope. A on, Thor, he feared nothing. After all, he had already raided the Midgard Serpent, and had it not been for Hymir, he would have easily slaughtered the beast. Just him, Thor, he is the richest and most beautiful, and to him people owe first of all sacrifices, because he, Thor,… Here he fell asleep, and the gods laughed at their pride, feasting on merrily.

Thor set off - once upon a time, to Jotunheim, and when he returned he was very tired, he had to cross the fjord. He was glad, when he saw a carrier with a boat on the opposite bank. So he began to call for him, promising, that as soon as they are on the other side, give him such a feast, like this one has never seen. Carrier, and it was the one-eyed old man, modestly dressed in gray, wool coat, however, he was reluctant, to fulfill the wanderer's request. He even began to taunt him, saying, that he should be the one who should have a bite of something, because you can see it, that he did not eat for a long time, and that his stature is poor. Hearing that Thor, he fell into his usual fury and began to roar, what he will do with such wretched spawn, as soon as he gets his hands on it. The old man did not care much about the wanderer's threats and replied, that the owner of the boat, great Mr. Hildolf, where he works, forbade him to transport robbers and horse thieves, and this is what the newcomer looks like to him. After all, he did not even give his name, and apparently he has bad reasons, to hide them. Thor, shaking with helpless anger, he said who he is, calling himself a leader and the most powerful among the gods. He asked for the name of the carrier.
