But Thor didn't die

Thor once told the story of how he almost died, and it was the scariest story we'd ever heard, so scary that after Mom had tucked us in bed, kissed our foreheads and flipped the switch, one of us would hiss "Don't take the eggs from the chicken!" to the other, and we'd both lie there, quivering, unable to fall asleep with the images that hovered over our beds: The trail of yellow slime dripping from Thor's mouth. A woman in a tattered blue bathrobe, a frying pan held high over her head. A squawking hen beating her wings, feathers flying everywhere. Thor had almost died!
