| Over the river, the bottle went all the way to the sea; many years it floated around, hailed by fishes, seals, and whales. But some day, it was seized by the tides and taken to the shores of the the Fjord of Aurland, where the sea reaches far into the land of Norway. A wild viking came along and saw the bottle; he hoped that it would contain ale or sweet honey wine, and opened it. When he noticed that there was only a message in the bottle, he was a bit dissatisfied - but not too much. He opened the bottle, read the message, smiled - took a feather, and wrote "Jeg er fryktelig tørst." onto it. He then sealed the bottle again and threw it back to the sea. Where would it go now? |
