Yule Lads: Mayhem at the North Pole Part 12


Gully Gawk peeked out from under the low table in Kronborg Castle with Sheep Cote Code beside him. 
Their mouths stretched wide in troll-like grins.  Candle Beggar was in the shadows and Window Peeper was high on top of a cabinet.   
Sheep Cote Clod snickered at the confused lady looking for her car keys, which now hung from Window Peeper’s bony fingers. The keyring’s rhinestones glittered in the beams of sunshine and they clinked as Window Peeper moved, admiring them.

She heard the noise and started to look up.  Quickly, Candle Beggar squawked from one side of the room.  She whipped around to the direction of the noise. 
Gully Gawk gave a horribly fake sneeze and the lady jumped in that direction. 
Sheep Cote gave a troll-moan and the lady jumped straight up in the air then ran for the door, shouting, “Oopha, we got troll trouble!”

They had snuck across Denmark for days now, swiping milk, and pilfering shiny keepsakes, taste-testing and playing troll pranks.  They had slinked and slithered from Amalienborg to Rundetarn.  They never got tired of hearing someone groan, “Troll trouble!”

They snickered at the frightened lady and they jumped from their hiding places.  Hauling Window Peeper to the door, they peered out to see if the coast was clear.

A white and orange object was flung straight at them!  Candle Beggar was hit straight on the head and knocked on his backside.
