Treasures for Three Gods
Treasures for Three Gods
Important Norse Gods
Odin, who is the highest god, gave up his eye for wisdom.
Thor is Odin’s son and the strongest god of all.
Frey, who is the god of the harvest, controls the weather.
Loki is a god who plays tricks on others.
Thor woke and knew immediately something was wrong.
His wife’s beautiful golden hair was gone.
He knew only Loki could do such a terrible thing.
Thor soon found Loki, who was drinking at home.
“You’d better undo what you did, or you’ll be sorry,” Thor said angrily to Loki.
Loki was scared.
He promised that he would get golden hair for Thor’s wife.
Loki knew only the sons of Ivaldi could make fine golden hair.
He went to them and said, “I heard Brokk and his brother are the finest smiths. Is that true?”
“No, it is we who are the finest smiths,” the sons of Ivaldi replied.
“They’re making three treasures for Odin, Thor, and Frey,‘ said Loki.
”Do you think you can make treasures better than theirs?“
“Of course we can,” they answered.
“O.K., then you should also make three treasures for them,” said Loki.
“The gods will decide on the best treasure.”
Loki also told them that one of the treasures had to be golden hair,
They went to work immediately.
Loki them went to see Brokk and his brother.
“Ivaldi’s sons are making three treasures for Odin, Thor, and Frey,” said Loki.
“I bet that you can never make treasures as fine as theirs.”
Brokk became angry and accepted the challenge.
He and his brother produced three treasures of their own.
Loki went to see the three gods with all the treasures.
Brokk came along.
Loki showed them the treasures form Ivaldi’s sons.
The first treasure was for Odin, who had only one eye.
It was a spear that never missed its target.
The second treasure was a big ship that could turn into a piece of cloth.
It was for Frey.
The third treasure was for Thor.
Loki showed Thor the flowing golden hair for his wife.
Thor put the hair on his wife’s hair, and it took root and became real hair.
It was now Brokk’s turn to show the gods his gifts.
He gave Odin a gold arm ring that produced eight more gold rings every ninth night.
Brokk then gave Frey a pig.
It could pull his carriage faster than any horse.
“My third treasure is for you, Thor,” said Brokk.
“This is the hammer Mjolnir, which you’ll love.
If you throw it, it’ll always come back to you.
Moreover, nothing can ever break it.”
It was an easy decision to choose the greatest treasure.
It was Mjolnir that the three gods liked most.
They thought the hammer would protect the gods from their enemies.
“Brokk and his brother,” said Odin, “are the better smiths.”
Brokk proved that Loki was wrong, and the three gods now had precious treasures.
