=====================
Freya tells Loki how she's been given an important job by Odin: To look after the weather and the seasons. One day, Odin invites Freya and her husband, Odur, to a banquet, so Freya goes in search for a new necklace.
She walks over the rainbow bridge to Midgard, where she stumbles across a cave. It starts to rain and, worried about her hair, Freya goes inside. As she moves along the cave, she begins to hear noises like hammers beating against the walls. When she turns a bend, she discovers the source of the hammering - goblins mining for silver and gold.
The goblins are enemies of the gods, but they are also well-known for making fantastic jewellery and Freya is transfixed by the sight of a beautiful necklace. Freya is determined to possess it at all costs, so the goblins name their price: She has to give each of them a 'big sloppy kiss'. Freya is horrified, but does as the goblins ask, then runs back to Asgard and her husband, Odur. Freya thinks that Odur will praise her beauty more than ever with the necklace, but how wrong she is!
This clip is from an animated collection of Viking Sagas, as told by Loki, Viking god of fire, shape-changer, mischief-maker and expert storyteller.
