` Then , ' continued the ogre , ` what has brought you to my house to-day for the first time ? ' ` We should like to have supper with you , ' said the prince . ` Well , supper is ready , and you are welcome , ' replied the ogre , leading the way into the house , for he had had a good day , and there was plenty of game in the bag over his shoulder . A table was quickly prepared , and the prince had already taken his place , when he suddenly exclaimed , ` After all , Buk Ettemsuch , suppose you come to supper with me ? ' ` Where ? ' asked the ogre . ` In my house . I know it is all ready . ' ` But it is so far off -- why not stay here ? ' ` Oh , I will come another day ; but this evening I must be your host . ' So the ogre accompanied the prince and his attendants back to the palace . After a while the prince turned to the ogre and said : ` It is as a wooer that I appear before you . I seek a wife from an honourable family . ' ` But I have no daughter , ' replied the ogre . ` Oh , yes you have , I saw her at the window . ' ` Well , you can marry her if you wish , ' said he . So the prince 's heart was glad as he and his attendants rode back with the ogre to his house . And as they parted , the prince said to his guest , ` You will not forget the bargain we have made ? ' ' I am not a young man , and never break my promises , ' said the ogre , and went in and shut the door . Upstairs he found the maiden , waiting till he returned to have her supper , for she did not like eating by herself . '
I have had my supper , ' said the ogre , ` for I have been spending the evening XXXXX the prince . '
