__Hrok said:"The wilt thou permit me to see it, for I have the greatest curiosity to know whether it is so costly a thing as is said?"
__"That is but little to grant thee,"said Hroar,"and it will certainly be allowed to thee;"and he brought him the ring. Now Hrok looked at the ring for some time, and declared that one could not overpraise it--"I have never seen such a treasure,"he said,"and there is the greatest excuse for your thinking it is a most precious ring;the best thing now will be for neither of us to possess it;"then he flung the ring from his hand, and out into the sea, as far as ever he could.
