That knave is not a fool, he has a mandrake in his body. When Adalbert had brought the water, the jotun bade him go into the forest, and cut a couple of blocks of wood and bring them back. The knave can do much more than bake apples, and has a mandrake in his body. When Adalbert had brought the wood, the jotun commanded him to shoot two or three wild boars for supper. The jotun was so terribly alarmed that he could not close an eye all night long for thinking what would be the best way to get rid of this accursed sorcerer of a servant.
