Kringler Folktale

Long ago in the land of vikings and trolls
 
In the kongelig fylke known as Valdres
 
The most famous of all the gnomes
 
was known as the Beitogubben.
 
He lived in the skog
 
On the edge of the fjell
 
And only came out
 
When darkness fell
 
Hans met him one dark cold night
 
In the vinter
 
When there is no light
 
And the gubben said to Hans
 
"don't be afraid I am a nice gammel troll
 
but I get moody in the darkness of vinter...
 
in exchange for your baked kringle
 
I will protect all of the children"
 
That evening there was a grand old tog
 
Hans brought his Norwegian old-world kringler
 
The local barna sat with the old troll
 
And they all feasted on fresh baked kringler, pølser and rolls
 
A bonfire was burning
 
The children were singing
 
And the gnarlig old troll proclaimed to hanskringler
 
There has never been anything so crisp and flakey
 
It is utrolig herlig. . . gourmet and delicious
 
I will make you the king of Danish
 
And perhaps one day
 
You will be famous.
