(Bangsabók Fjölva 1983) Freyjukettir, Norræn menning ISBN 978-9935-467-81-2 Hjalti samdi Tak-sögurnar og teiknaði myndirnar á árunum 1975-´79, þá 5 - 10 ára; flestar sagnanna voru í Stundinni okkar. Tak the alien was broadcasted in Children‘s Hour on TV 1975-1980.
Tak is reading an thrilling ghost story in the book “Icelandic folklore“. It is a gloomy night. On his desk is a candy box, from which he takes one and one, every now and then, to eat.
All of a sudden, two eyes appear behind Tak, but he does not notice. It is a ghost ! A real ghost !
All of a sudden, the candy box hovers slowly upwards. Tak is still unaware of anything suspicious. It is the ghost who is lifting the box.
The Ghost puts one sweet into his mouth. Tak hears SMACK SMACK behind himself.
Tak is going to have a sweet. But the box is not on the desk, it is hovering in the air. Now Tak becomes a bit scared.
The Ghost is amused when he sees how frightened Tak is. He laughs a terrifying ghost laughter.
Tak says: -Gho..gho...ghost ! What is one supposed to do when he meets a ghost?
Tak says: -Just don‘t be afraid and keep cool. So Tak says calmly and determined: Ghost, go to sleep !
Tak looks up in the Icelandic folklore book for advice on how to rid oneself of a ghost. In the olden days they rang the church-bells to scare the ghost away. I have to go to the church, Tak thinks.
What ?
Tak, in a hurry, takes on his rubber boots as he is going to run to the church. But his boots are filled with water. The ghost was teasing him.
Then Tak is going to take on his “lopapeysa� (knitted woolen pull-over). But the ghost has already fastened the sleeves together in a tight knot. The ghost is amused when Tak tries to take on his lopapeysa.
-OK. Then I just don‘t ring the church bells, Tak says. He finds a little bell and a bicycle horn and rings and honks on full blast. The ghost just laughs.
-The Icelandic Saga says that Grettir, the strong one, fought the famous ghost GlĂĄmur. But I don‘t like the idea to fight with a ghost. So Tak continues to search for solutions in the Icelandic folklore book.
Here it says that ghosts should be scotched. So Tak takes to put the kibosh on the ghost by singing. He chants an old song, his voice shivering: “In the highlands alone I roam...“
....I am lost, lost, lost. No, this does not work. The ghost laughs. -- Horrible ghost laughter.
All of a sudden Tak remembers that the Devil once got tricked into a bone. Tak saws up a bone. A bone is hollow inside.
Tak puts the last piece of sweet into the hollow bone and says to the ghost: -Now, no-one can get the last piece!
-Ho, ho, ho, I can, the ghost says and squeezes himself into the bone.
In a hurry, Tak closes the bone with a cork. We can hear the ghost’s SMACK SMACK.
Tak keeps the bone in his drawer. The ghost laughs and utters: “Darkness is my favorite ! I love the darkness !“ THE END
