The troll demanded payment of one-half of the apples, plus two more. The prince gave him the apples and set off again. A little further on, he was stopped by a second troll guard. This troll demanded payment of one-half the apples, plus two more. The prince paid him and set off again. A third troll stopped him and demanded one-half of the apples plus two more.
