The Cunning Lapp.
A poor Lapp once ran into the hands of a Giant, by whom he knew
he would be devoured if he could not conceive some means of
outwitting him. To this end he therefore proposed that they have a
contest of strength, the test to be that they should butt against a tree
and see which could drive his head farthest into it. He [225]who could
make the deepest impression must, of course, be the stronger.
The Giant was first to make the trial. Taking his stand some distance
from a tall pine, with a spring forward he drove his head with furious
force against the trunk, but the most careful search did not discover
a mark caused by the blow. The Lapp then said that he would show
his strength the next day. During the night he made a large hollow in
the trunks of several trees and re-covered the cavities nicely with the
bark. Next morning, when the contest was renewed, the Lapp ran
from tree to tree, into each of which he thrust his head to his ears.
The Giant looked on, thoroughly crestfallen at the exhibition of
strength, but proposed that they have another trial. This time he who
could throw an ice ax highest into the air should be declared the
victor. The Giant threw first, and to such a height that the ax was
almost lost to sight.
“That was a miserable throw,” said the Lapp. “When I throw it shall
be so high that it will lodge upon a cloud.”
The next day, as the Lapp and the Giant were out in company, the
Lapp gathered a number of willow twigs and began twisting them
together.
“I mean to carry away your treasure house,” answered the Lapp. [226]
“Oh, my son,” sighed the Giant, “let me retain my house, and I will fill
your hat with silver.”
While the Giant was away after the silver, the Lapp dug a pit, cut a
hole in his hat crown and sat the hat over the pit.
“Fill it up!” shouted the Lapp. “Otherwise I’ll throw you, as I would
have done the ice ax, up into the clouds.” And the Giant was
compelled to give the Lapp such a sum of money that he was ever
after a rich man. [227]

Kadnihak.
Evening came, and all retired to rest, but it had hardly become quiet
in the Lapp tents before the Kadnihaks were heard to be astir. The
tinkling of bells, cries of men, barking of dogs, noise of reindeer and
a general commotion prevailed on all sides.
The old Lapp woman arose from her bed of reindeer skins and
peeked out through the tent door. With [228]horror she saw the whole
tribe of sprites marching straight down upon the camp. No time was
to be wasted. She threw about her a skin and hurried out to treat
with the angry Trolls. With great trouble and promises that she would
see to it that the children would conduct themselves better in the
future, she induced them to change their course, thus staying the
danger the camp was in of being trampled down. From that day
there was quiet in the camp as long as it continued there.
