Esben at once put it into his sack and hurried off before the witch should catch sight of him ; but the next moment she came running , and shouted after him , ` Hey ! is that you , Esben ? ' ` Ye -- e -- s ! ' ` Is it you that has taken my pretty boar ? ' ` Ye -- e -- s ! ' ` It was also you that took my dove ? ' ` Ye -- e -- s ! ' ` And it was you that made me kill my eleven daughters ? ' ` Ye -- e -- s ! ' ` Are you coming back again ? ' ` That may be , ' said Esben . ` Then you 'll catch it , ' said the witch . Esben was soon back at the palace with the boar , and his brothers scarcely knew which leg to stand on , so rejoiced were they that they were safe again . Not one of them , however , ever thought of thanking Esben for what he had done for them . The king was still more rejoiced over the boar than he had been over the dove , and did not know what to give the brothers for it . At this Sir Red was again possessed with anger and envy , and again he went about and planned how to get the brothers into trouble . One day he went again to the king and said , ` These eleven brothers have now procured the dove and the boar , but they can do much more than that ; I know they have said that if they liked they could get for the king a lamp that can shine over seven kingdoms . ' ` If they have said that , ' said the king , ` they shall also be made to bring it to me . That would be a glorious lamp for me . ' Again the king sent a message to the brothers to come up to the palace .
They went accordingly , although very unwillingly , for they suspected that Sir XXXXX had fallen on some new plan to bring them into trouble .
