Look yonder to the east. There inthe flood of light comes our God. " [Illustration: NORWEGIAN PEASANTS. ] To the east all eyes were turned, and at that moment the sunlight burstfrom the clouds and spread over the scene. As it did so a sturdy warrior, at a signal from the king, sprang forwards and struck the idol so fiercea blow with his club that it was shattered to pieces. Out from its hollowinterior sprang great rats, snakes, and lizards, which had grown fat onthe food with which the idol had... been fed daily.
On seeing these loathsome things squirm from the interior of their godthe peasants fled from the spot in a panic of fear, rushing to the riverwhere their boats lay. But King Olaf, forecasting this, had sent men tobore holes in the boats so that they would not float. Unable to escape, the frightened peasants came back, quite downcast in spirit.
