As for the Ogre , he sat down again to drink , being highly pleased that he had got wherewithal to treat his friends . He drank a dozen glasses more than ordinary , which got up into his head and obliged him to go to bed . The Ogre had seven daughters , all little children , and these young ogresses had all of them very fine complexions , because they used to eat fresh meat like their father ; but they had little gray eyes , quite round , hooked noses , and very long sharp teeth , standing at a good distance from each other . They were not as yet over and above mischievous , but they promised very fair for it , for they had already bitten little children , that they might suck their blood . They had been put to bed early , with every one a crown of gold upon her head . There was in the same chamber a bed of the like bigness , and it was into this bed the Ogre 's wife put the seven little boys , after which she went to bed to her husband . Little Thumb , who had observed that the Ogre 's daughters had crowns of gold upon their heads , and was afraid lest the Ogre should repent his not killing them , got up about midnight , and , taking his brothers ' bonnets and his own , went very softly and put them upon the heads of the seven little ogresses , after having taken off their crowns of gold , which he put upon his own head and his brothers ' , that the Ogre might take them for his daughters , and his daughters for the little boys whom he wanted to kill . All this succeeded according to his desire ; for , the Ogre waking about midnight , and sorry that he deferred to do that till morning which he might have done over-night , threw himself hastily out of bed , and , taking his great knife , `` Let us see , '' said he , `` how our little rogues do , and not make two jobs of the matter . '' He then went up , groping all the way , into his daughters ' chamber , and , coming to the bed where the little boys lay , and who were every soul of them fast asleep , except Little Thumb , who was terribly afraid when he found the Ogre fumbling about his head , as he had done about his brothers ' , the Ogre , feeling the golden crowns , said : `` I should have made a fine piece of work of it , truly ; I find I drank too much last night . '' Then he went to the bed where the girls lay ; and , having found the boys ' little bonnets , `` Ah ! '' said he , `` my merry lads , are you there ? Let us work as we ought . '' And saying these words , without more ado , he cut the throats of all his seven daughters . Well pleased with what he had done , he went to bed again to his wife . So soon as Little Thumb heard the Ogre snore , he waked his brothers , and bade them all put on their clothes presently and follow him . They stole down softly into the garden , and got over the wall . They kept running about all night , and trembled all the while , without knowing which way they went . The Ogre , when he awoke , said to his wife : `` Go upstairs and dress those young rascals who came here last night . '' The wife was very much surprised at this goodness of her husband , not dreaming after what manner she should dress them ; but , thinking that he had ordered her to go and put on their clothes , she went up , and was strangely astonished when she perceived her seven daughters killed , and weltering in their blood . She fainted away , for this is the first expedient almost all women find in such cases .
The Ogre , fearing his wife would be too long in doing what he had XXXXX , went up himself to help her .
