The fisherman wanted to cry out with joy and thank the heavens for such a wonderful gift. But something held him back.

“What’s the matter?” asked his wife, seeing the colour drain from his cheeks.

“Nothing… she’s beautiful,” he replied. He could not bring himself to tell her about his strange pact with the King of the Lakes.

The years passed, and the fisherman convinced himself that it had all been a dream. Little Jegle was a beautiful girl with dark eyes and long blonde plaits. She liked nothing better than helping in the kitchen or picking blueberries in the woods.

One day, her mother fell ill and died, and Jegle took over the running of the house. While the girl kept everything in the little cottage in order, her father and brothers would be out in their boat searching for fish. Sometimes Jegle liked to walk beside the lake on her own. She would sit on a wooden bridge and dangle her feet in the cool water. There was one particular place where she would stop and watch a huge green fish swim by.
