said Dschemila suddenly . ` What is it ? ' ` The ogre is coming after us with his dog . ' ` You go on in front then , ' answered he ; and they both ran on as fast as they could , while the ogre and the dog drew always nearer and nearer . ` They are close upon us ! ' cried the maiden , glancing behind , ` you must throw the pin . ' So Dschemil took the pin from his cloak and threw it behind him , and a dense thicket of thorns sprang up round them , which the ogre and his dog could not pass through . ' I will get through it somehow , if I burrow underground , ' cried he , and very soon he and the dog were on the other side . ` Cousin , ' said Dschemila , ` they are close to us now . ' ` Go on in front , and fear nothing , ' replied Dschemil . So she ran on a little way , and then stopped . ` He is only a few yards away now , ' she said , and Dschemil flung the hatchet on the ground , and it turned into a lake . ' I will drink , and my dog shall drink , till it is dry , ' shrieked the ogre , and the dog drank so much that it burst and died . But the ogre did not stop for that , and soon the whole lake was nearly dry . Then he exclaimed , ` Dschemila , let your head become a donkey 's head , and your hair fur !

' And he left her , and went home . For two days poor Dschemila wandered about alone , weeping bitterly . When her cousin drew near his native town , he began to think over his conduct , and to feel ashamed of himself . ` Perhaps by this time she has changed back to her proper shape , ' he said to himself , ' I will go and see ! '
So he made all the haste he could , and at last he saw her seated on a rock , trying to keep off the wolves , who longed XXXXX have her for dinner .
