Lord Peter or Squire Per is a Norwegian fairy tale collected by Asbjørnsen and Moe.
A couple died, leaving their three sons a porridge-pot, a griddle, and a cat.
The older two took the porridge-pot and griddle, so they could lend them and get something to eat, but the youngest, Peter, took the cat, because otherwise she would starve at the old home.
On the visit, the king declared that he would go home with Lord Peter.
When the troll arrived, the cat distracted it with a story until sunrise, and the sunlight made it burst.
