Disa’s Rice Crispie Cake Recipe
4 egg whites
2 dl (1 cup) sugar
1 d! (1/2 cup) brown sugar
2-3 cups Rice Crispies
It is best to make the cake the
day before it is used.
Beat egg whites, sugar and
brown sugar very well until fluffy and
light. Add Rice Crispies. Put into
forms and bake at 1509 C for 20
minutes. Lower heat to 1009 C and
bake 20 minutes more. Turn off
oven and let cake cool in oven.
Put whipped cream between the
layers.
Topping can be very simple — a
sprinkling of icing sugar or the fol-
lowing:
4 egg yolks

any, many years ago, before
you or I were born, there
lived two little children,
named Hildur and Haldór, whose job
it was, to take the sheep into the
mountains in Iceland, and look after
them each day.
They were supposed to keep track
of where the sheep went, and try to
keep them all together. That way, it
would be easy to take them home at
the end of the day.
One day, Hildur and Haldór were
lying down trying to see shapes in the
clouds, and they fell asleep. When they
woke up, all the sheep were gone!
Hildur and Haldór ran up and down
all the hills and mountains, calling,
whistling, crying and they got lost
themselves. They were never seen
again!
There are some, who say that, every
spring you can hear the children whis-
tle and sing, and feel them breathe and
whisper. Some say you can hear them
running up and down the hills. I think
the sounds they hear and the breath
they feel are the happy, frisky winds of
spring, called “Vorvindar Gladir”.
They are happy to be free and warm in
the sunshine.

Efefcí Neitt:
Nothing-At-All:
Þegar hann hætti í þetta sinn, kom
krummi og sagði:
"Já, ég sé, að galdrarnir ætla að verka
vel. Þetta er Ijómandi fallegur svartur blet-
tur, sem þú ert búinn að fá þarna á bakið. -
Haltu bara áfram". Og hann flaug á burt.
Þriðja morguninn sneri Ekki Neitt sér
enn þá meira en áður. Og hann sagði í
sífellu:
"Viljirðu eitthvað verða,
verðurðu þig að herða.
Viljirðu eitthvað verða,
verðurðu þig að herða".
After he had stopped whirling, what
do you suppose had happened?
Do you think he was a dog whom any-
one could see? No, he wasn't. He still
looked Nothingy but now his
Nothingness had a shape! When he held
up his paw, he couldn't see the paw but
he could see a paw-shaped space, and
he was very happy about that.
"Well done!" cried a voice which was
the jackdaw's. "You are a pleasent-look-
ing shape, I must say. Keep it up! and the
bird was gone.
