BOB. Hey hey, folks, it's time for another episode of the Cupid's Chatline. I'm your host, Bob. Today we have a very special guest--Ilmarinen! That's right, the Eternal Hammerer. Hi Ilmarinen!

SEPPO. Nice to meet you.

BOB. Nice to meet you too. So Ilmarinen, tell us a bit about yourself.

SEPPO. I like to make things.

BOB. That's great. What sort of things?

SEPPO. Crossbows, ships, plowshares, that sort of thing.

BOB. That's amazing. What would you say was your best work?

SEPPO. The Sampo.

BOB. Uh, could you let our listeners know what that is?

SEPPO. It's a mill that makes grain, salt, and gold.

BOB. So like a horn of plenty?

SEPPO. Yes, exactly.

BOB. Wow! I'm sure many of those who support this chatline would love to have one of those. What happened to it?

SEPPO. Louhi locked it underground.

BOB. You don't say. Did you make it for her?

SEPPO. Yes.

BOB. Did she pay you for it?

SEPPO. She promised her daughter's hand in marriage.

BOB. What came of that?

SEPPO. She turned me down.

BOB. I see, I see. Well! It looks like we're almost out of time, so I want to thank Ilmarinen for spending this time with us.

SEPPO. Thank you for having me.

BOB. Viewers will want to check out Ilmarinen's profile. If this week was the man of the North, next week we'll have the man of The Sur himself. No more hints! And be sure to tune in to the Cupid's Chatline!
