38 The chair fell to the floor. Two of Geirrod's daughters had been sitting under it.

Soon Geirrod sent a servant to invite Thor to come and see games.

Great fires burned all down the hall. When Thor came near Geirrod, the giant seized a piece of iron and threw it at Thor.

Thor caught it in his iron gloves and raised his arm to throw it at Geirrod.

Geirrod ran behind a post. Thor hurled the iron. It went through the post and through Geirrod, and through the wall into the ground outside.

Thor took the gloves and staff and belt back to the giantess.

He never went anywhere without his hammer again.
