WORLD, what it means to us? ... page 8

WOTAN(the father of all the gods) called a meeting. Every one came except LOKI(brother of Wotan),
who HID IN NASTRAND, the Kingdom oh the DRAGON(Nidhogg), where also other three monsters lived, the wolf (Fenrir), the serpent (Midgard), and the goddess of death (Hel).These monsters were the childern of Loki and the giantess Angrboda.

"WHAT ARE WE DO?" WOTAN asked the GODS. "This mighty monster will destroy everything and we powerless against him." "HE IS HALF A GOD AND CANNOT BE KILLED."

THOR STOOD UP. He was the handsomest of all of them with fair hair and broad shoulders; his ARMS were MUSCULAR and STRONG and he CARRIED a great IRON HAMMER.
"WE MUST TRICK THE MONSTER," he said, "and I HAVE a PLAN."

THOR SHOUTED DOWN FROM ASGARD(the palace of the gods at the centre of the Universe) so
that the WOLF (Fenrir, who lived inside the dragon's kingdom) could HEAR HIM.
"YOU may THINK that you are STRONGER than THE MEN OF EARTH, and IT IS TRUE," he
bellowed, "BUT YOU ARE NOT AS STRONG AS THE GODS OF ASGARD."

The WOLF heard THOR and began to LAUGH. The MOUNTAINS TREMBLED and the RIVERS
STOPPED flowing AT the SOUND of the WOLF (Fenrir)"s VOICE.
"NONSENSE," replied the WOLF, "NOTHING IS STRONGER THAN ME!"

"WE DO NOT BELIEVE you," shouted THOR. "PROVE IT TO US. IF we can BIND YOU with
chains that YOU CANNOT BREAK, WILL YOU ADMIT DEFEAT?

"CERTAINLY," replied the WOLF, "NO CHAIN COULD EVER HOLD ME."
