For a few weeks , it is of no consequence , but after a year or two they will be quite useless . ' ` And if they have to lie there ten years I will have Dschemila , and her only , for my wife . For a month , or even two months , I will rest here quietly . Then I will go and seek her afresh . ' ` Oh , you are quite mad ! Is she the only maiden in the world ? There are plenty of others better worth having than she is . ' ` If there are I have not seen them ! And why do you make all this fuss ? Every man knows his own business best . ' ` Why , it is you who are making all the fuss yourself -- ' But Dschemil turned and went into the house , for he did not want to quarrel . Three months later a Jew , who was travelling across the desert , came to the castle , and laid himself down under the wall to rest . In the evening the ogre saw him there and said to him , ` Jew , what are you doing here ? Have you anything to sell ? ' ' I have only some clothes , ' answered the Jew , who was in mortal terror of the ogre . ` Oh , do n't be afraid of me , ' said the ogre , laughing . ' I shall not eat you . Indeed , I mean to go a bit of the way with you myself . ' ' I am ready , gracious sir , ' replied the Jew , rising to his feet . ` Well , go straight on till you reach a town , and in that town you will find a maiden called Dschemila and a young man called Dschemil .
Take this mirror and this comb with you , and say XXXXX Dschemila , `` Your father , the ogre , greets you , and begs you to look at your face in this mirror , and it will appear as it was before , and to comb your hair with this comb , and it will be as formerly . ''
