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 casket on the top of a cupboard , take it as quickly as you can , and leave the house without a moment 's delay . If you do all this exactly as I have told you , you will not be killed . ' So Prunella , having listened carefully to his instructions , did just what he had told her . She reached the house , oiled the hinges of the door , threw the loaf to the dog , gave the poor woman at the well the rope , and the woman in the kitchen the broom , caught up the casket from the top of the cupboard , and fled with it out of the house . But the witch heard her as she ran away , and rushing to the window called out to the woman in the kitchen : ` Kill that thief , I tell you ! ' But the woman replied : ' I will not kill her , for she has given me a broom , whereas you forced me to clean the hearth with my tongue . ' Then the witch called out in fury to the woman at the well ; ` Take the girl , I tell you , and fling her into the water , and drown her ! ' But the woman answered ; ` No , I will not drown her , for she gave me this rope , whereas you forced me to use my hair to let down the bucket to draw water . ' Then the witch shouted to the dog to seize the girl and hold her fast ; but the dog answered ; ` No , I will not seize her , for she gave me a loaf of bread , whereas you let me starve with hunger . ' The witch was so angry that she nearly choked , as she called out ; ` Door , bang upon her , and keep her a prisoner . '
But the door answered ; ' I wo n't , for she has oiled my hinges , so that they move quite easily , XXXXX you left them all rough and rusty . '
