SimonRoyHughes, When the cat knocks, a man of the mountain with three heads comes out. “I know some tricks, I do,” says the cat.
“What tricks?” asks the mountain troll.
“I can make myself big as a house.”
“That’s certainly some trick.”
“I can make myself as small as a mouse.”
“That’s certainly some trick! So can I,” says the troll.
“I want to see that,” says the cat.
Then the mountain troll makes himself as small as a mouse, and the cat bites all three of its heads off.
