Synopsis: A plan has been made to trick the Frost King to return the hammer, but will it work?
Excerpt:
But Thor held up his hammer and shook it gently as he admitted, "Look now, Loki, it was an excellent joke, and so far you have done well, after your crafty fashion. But now I have my hammer again, and the joke is done. From you, nor from another, I brook no laughter at my expense. Henceforth we will have no mention of this masquerade, nor of these rags which now I throw away. Do you hear?"
Question:
Even though the plot was successful, Thor was embarrassed because he
- had allowed himself to be disguised as a woman.
- had eaten so much food at the banquet.
- had kissed the giant so as not to undermine the plot.
- had been caught stealing the wedding gift.
