Book: Scandinavian gods

In front of Loki and Thor put a tray of pies for women. Loki carefully picked up the t pretty one. Thor just as neatly swept away all the others...

- I hope you know what you're doing.
"Of course," Thor replied.
But, in truth, he did not think about what he was doing - he just did what he would think of. He did it best.

Then one of the dwarfs, named Lit, walked around Thor and stood in front of him to look at the funeral pyre closer. Thor, indignant, kicked him with his foot, and the dwarf fell into the fire and burned. Here the Torah got a little better, and the remaining dwarfs, on the contrary, became much worse.

The next morning Loki sobered up and remembered what he had done last night. He was not ashamed ...

The gods tolerate him - perhaps because his tricks and cunning often help them out. About as often as they lead to trouble.

Finding your favorite mythology is no easier than your favorite cuisine (tonight you want Thai, tomorrow - sushi, and the day after tomorrow - a simple homemade food on which you grew up).

“Because,” Thor said competently, “when something goes wrong, the first thing I think is Loki's fault. It saves me a lot of time.

The world is no good as long as no one lives in it.
