* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: The reason why the princess loses the contest. The translation provided here doesn't really capture the joke too well; in the original Norwegian text, Boots finishes his story with how his mother boxed the King's ears so that his dandruff flew off -- whereupon the princess, somewhat indignantly, says: "That's a lie! My father never had dandruff!"

"Haven't we though!" answered Boots; "ours is far bigger; for when a cow begins to go with calf at one end of it, she doesn't get to the other end before the time to drop her calf is come."''
Boots tells an enormous TallTale about an adventure, and concludes that he found the king cobbling shoes, and his mother boxed the king on the ears.

So Boots got the Princess to wife, and half the kingdom besides. ''
