Easy Stories in Norwegian: Rødhette og ulven

Det var en gang en familie som bodde på landet. Familien besto av mor, far og ei lita datter. Dattera ble ofte kalt for Rødhette, siden hun så ofte hadde på seg en rød kappe med ei rød hette over hodet. Det var derfor hun ble kalt Rødhette.

En dag sa moren til Rødhette at hun skulle gå til bestemoren for å gi henne ei kake. Bestemoren var skrøpelig og syk, så hun klarte ikke lenger å gå til butikken. Derfor var det viktig at folk tok med mat til henne.

How Old is Norse Mythology?

We know that Norse mythology was a part of daily life for people who spoke Old Norse. This language was used from around the year 700. People living in Scandinavia at the time told Norse myths to each other. These myths were an important part of Viking culture, society, and religion. Many scholars, however, believe that Norse myths are even older. They think that Norse mythology originated long before the year 700. For example, archaeological evidence mentioning Odin dates back to the year 400.
