` We shall see who will win in the end , ' said the witch , and her eyes blazed with anger . Next day she called the girl to her and said : ` Go to my sister , who lives across the mountains . She will give you a casket , which you must bring back to me . ' This she said knowing that her sister , who was a still more cruel and wicked witch than herself , would never allow the girl to return , but would imprison her and starve her to death . But Prunella did not suspect anything , and set out quite cheerfully . On the way she met Bensiabel . ` Where are you going , Prunella ? ' he asked . ' I am going to the sister of my mistress , from whom I am to fetch a casket . ' ` Oh poor , poor girl ! ' said Bensiabel . ` You are being sent straight to your death . Give me a kiss , and I will save you . ' But again Prunella answered as before , ' I will not kiss the son of a witch . ' ` Nevertheless , I will save your life , ' said Bensiabel , ` for I love you better than myself . Take this flagon of oil , this loaf of bread , this piece of rope , and this broom . When you reach the witch 's house , oil the hinges of the door with the contents of the flagon , and throw the loaf of bread to the great fierce mastiff , who will come to meet you . When you have passed the dog , you will see in the courtyard a miserable woman trying in vain to let down a bucket into the well with her plaited hair . You must give her the rope . In the kitchen you will find a still more miserable woman trying to clean the hearth with her tongue ; to her you must give the broom .
You will see the XXXXX on the top of a cupboard , take it as quickly as you can , and leave the house without a moment 's delay .
