Oh, don't cry, I was only in fun,' said the ogre. He was soon asleep again, and a yellow light shone through the castle. Come quick!' called Dschemil from the chest; we must fly now while the ogre is asleep.' Not yet,' she said, there is a yellow light shining. I don't think he is asleep.' So they waited for an hour.

Then she stole back to her cousin, and asked, But how are we to get out?' Get the rope, and I will let you down.' So she fetched the rope, the hatchet, and the pin and the needles, and said, Take them, and put them in the pocket of your cloak, and be sure not to lose them.' Dschemil put them carefully in his pocket, and tied the rope round her, and let her down over the wall. Are you safe?' he asked. |
