Thor vs. Sea Serpent

                  One day, Thor and a giant called Hymir goes to sea-fishing. Hymir said he can't help Thor much; Thor said he can row out the sea a long way but he demands to come back first. Thor is so angry and he wants to use his hammer to release his anger. He asked Hymir if they were to take a bait, but Hymir denies it. Thor turns away and select the biggest ox of Hymir then hits with his hammer. The next day, Thor took the head of Hymir's ox and place it next to him on the bow. Hymir sits on the bow with Thor then they row to the place where they can fish. But Thor wants to go further, so hw row faster to a further place. Hymir tells Thor that it is dangerous to be far, because they may come to Midgard Serpent. Thor ignores Hymir and keep rowing. Hymir is not happy with that idea. Thor stops and use the ox head as bait. The Midgard Serpent snaps the ox head then take off. Thor is so angry, he jumps how to the bottom of the sea to find Midgard Serpent. Thor throws serpent up on board. The mighty serpent belches poison. Hymis is so sacred. At the moment, Thor about to strike the serpent, Hymir fumbles for his bait knife and cut Thor's line off at the gunwale. Serpent jumps off the ocean and disappear. Thor misses the shot. Thor clenched his fist and gave Hymir a box on the ear and Thor himself waded ashore.
