Story of trolls

• Deep lakes and steep woodlands were the house of
  the NOKKEN (the elf of the water). On the tip of
  the rocks rising from the water, or under the
  waterfalls you could find the FOSSEGRIMEN, the
  skilled player of the special TROLL violin, who
  has become the teacher of several Norwegian
  violonists.

• HAUGTUSSER and IUFTEKALLER (elves and fairies)
  lived on the hills and under the bushes. Other
  fairies preferred to live closer to human beings,
  and at night used to stay in the barns and in the
  cattlesheds. They were called NISSE and they wore
  a long, red and slouch hat.The numberless
  mountains were the house of the TROLLS, whose
  leader - the strongest of all - was the
  DOVREGRUBBEN (the King of the Dovre mountain).

Some TROLLS were giants - plants and moss used to
grow on their heads and noses - other TROLLS were
very small. You could see two-head and three-head
TROLLS, some of them had just one eye, right in
the middle of their front. All of them could live
hundreds of years. You could meet them at night,
because they couldn't stand the light of the
sun.

Even nowadays it's a good rule to be
well-disposed towards the TROLLS, since you never
know when you may bump into one. Remember this
the next time you get into a dark forest, or you
walk up impressive mountains with their lakes and
waterfalls, wrapped up by fog. They probably
don't have evil intentions, but beware at
twilight you won't be alone anymore. There will
be you ... and the TROLLS.

TROLLS do care about the environment. Take care
of nature, wherever you go and whatever you do,
always try to protect it it is the place where
TROLLS live. In return, they will show all their
gratitude. Be kind to them then, they will stay
close to you for a long time and will bring you
good luck
