Description
Excerpt from Reading-Literature: Fourth Reader
The frost-giants were always trying to get into Asgard. For more than half the year they held the world in their grasp. They locked up the streams in their rocky beds, hushing their music and the music of the birds as well. They left nothing but a wild waste under the cold Sky. They hated the warm sunshine which stirs the wild ?owers out of their Sleep, and covers the mountains with verdure, and sets all the birds a-singing in the tree-tops. Above all, they hated Thor, whose ?ashing hammer drove them back into J O''-tun-heim and guarded the summer Sky. So long as Thor had his hammer Asgard was safe against the giants.
