Premise: After many arguments and entreaties he succeeded in persuading the king to give him two great oak trees for his very own .<br>` Now , ' said he to his sister , ' I will have the trees hollowed out , and then I will make rooms in them and furnish them so that I shall be able to live out in the forest . '<br>` Oh , Asmund ! '<br>exclaimed Signy , ` what a delightful idea !<br>Do let me come too , and live in one of your trees .<br>I will bring all my pretty things and ornaments , and the trees are so near home we shall be quite safe in them . '
Hypothesis: He didn't have to argue to persuade the king.
