Woe to you if you make a mistake . I will gobble you up in one mouthful . ' Now Bensiabel was in the room next to the one where Prunella slept . At midnight she awoke hearing a cock crow . ` Which one was that ? ' shouted the witch . Then , trembling , Prunella knocked on the wall and whispered : ` Bensiabel , Bensiabel , tell me , which cock crowed ? ' ` Will you give me a kiss if I tell you ? ' he whispered back through the wall . But she answered ` No . ' Then he whispered back to her ; ` Nevertheless , I will tell you . It was the yellow cock that crowed . ' The witch , who had noticed the delay in Prunella 's answer , approached her door calling angrily : ` Answer at once , or I will kill you . ' So Prunella answered : ` It was the yellow cock that crowed . ' And the witch stamped her foot and gnashed her teeth . Soon after another cock crowed . ` Tell me now which one it is , ' called the witch . And , prompted by Bensiabel , Prunella answered : ` That is the black cock . '
