Grandpas stories about the vikings page 2

Do you like my house?

It's no TV, no PC or Sony Playstation, just piece,

except when we are fighting the Danes and Swedes of course.

A friend of mine, Leif Erikson, told me he once discovered a new country, Vinland. Did you know that? (A painting by Hans Dahl).

Today that country is called America.

Would you like to take a closer look at my boat?

I have a real good copy of it in Sandefjord. Visit me in Sandefjord next summer.

Best regards Olav Gudroedsson, the king of vikings.
