And you , dear cousin , say nothing to the neighbours , and if they should put questions , you can make answer that I have not yet been found . ' ` So I will , ' replied he . Then he and her mother took her upstairs and hid her in a cupboard , where she stayed for a whole month , only going out to walk when all the world was asleep . Meanwhile Dschemil had returned to his own home , where his father and mother , his brothers and neighbours , greeted him joyfully . ` When did you come back ? ' said they , ` and have you found Dschemila ? ' ` No , I searched the whole world after her , and could hear nothing of her . ' ` Did you part company with the man who started with you ? ' ` Yes ; after three days he got so weak and useless he could not go on . It must be a month by now since he reached home again . I went on and visited every castle , and looked in every house . But there were no signs of her ; and so I gave it up . ' And they answered him : ` We told you before that it was no good . An ogre or an ogress must have snapped her up , and how can you expect to find her ? ' ' I loved her too much to be still , ' he said . But his friends did not understand , and soon they spoke to him again about it . ` We will seek for a wife for you . There are plenty of girls prettier than Dschemila . ' ' I dare say ; but I do n't want them . ' ` But what will you do with all the cushions and carpets , and beautiful things you bought for your house ? '
` They can stay XXXXX the chests . '
