walked pieces three
Once upon a time three of the gods went on a journey.
One was Thor and one was Loki. Loki was ugly and mean.
The gods liked to walk over the hills and rocks. They could go very
fast for they were so big.
The gods walked on and on.
At last they got very hungry. Then they came to a field with cattle.

Thor killed a big ox and put the pieces into a pot.
