A legend tells how, once upon a time, the giants in Iceland were envious and decided that they wanted the Faroes. So the giant and the witch were sent down to the Faroe Islands to bring them back.
They reached the north-westernmost mountain Eiðiskollur, and the giant stayed in the sea while the witch climbed up the mountain with a heavy rope to tie the islands together so that she could push them onto the giant’s back. However, when she attached the rope to the mountain and pulled, the northern part of the mountain split. Further attempts were also unsuccessful, and they struggled through the night, but the base of the mountain was firm and they could not move it.
If the sun shines on a giant or witch, it turns to stone. So it was that as they continued to struggle they didn’t notice time passing, and as dawn broke a shaft of sunlight put a stop to their efforts by turning them to stone on the spot. They have stood there ever since, staring longingly across the ocean towards Iceland 🖤

Neinei, þau voru að rétta, Færeyjar eru eins og kindur sem hafa farið of langt frá bænum og nú er kominn tími til að þær komi aftur heim.
Verið velkomnir Færeyingar, ímyndið ykkur hversu gott það væri fyrir sál og líkama að sameinast okkur í norðri.
Við fáum að halda Guðna sem forseta og þið fáið að velja forsætisráðherra. Snjór má heita kavi en það má samt ekki nota orðið fleyja yfir vissar gjörðir.
P.S. fangelsin hér eru yfirfull. Gætuði reddað einni eyju sem fanganýlendu? Í staðinn skulum við halda áfram að selja Svala og lög verða sett um að Íslendingar þurfi að hýsa Færeyinga frítt þegar þeir koma yfir á móðurlandið.
