` Yes , dear mother , I have , ' answered Pinkel . ` Are you not a knave , Pinkel ? ' ` Yes , dear mother , I am , ' he replied . And the old witch shouted in a rage : ` Ah ! beware how you come hither again , for next time you shall not escape me ! ' But Pinkel laughed and rowed on . The king was so delighted with the goat that he always kept it by his side , night and day ; and , as he had promised , Pinkel was made ruler over the third part of the kingdom . As may be supposed , the brothers were more furious than ever , and grew quite thin with rage . ` How can we get rid of him ? ' said one to the other . And at length they remembered the golden cloak . ` He will need to be clever if he is to steal that ! ' they cried , with a chuckle . And when next the king came to see his horses they began to speak of Pinkel and his marvellous cunning , and how he had contrived to steal the lantern and the goat , which nobody else would have been able to do . ` But as he was there , it is a pity he could not have brought away the golden cloak , ' added they . ` The golden cloak ! what is that ? ' asked the king . And the young men described its beauties in such glowing words that the king declared he should never know a day 's happiness till he had wrapped the cloak round his own shoulders . ` And , ' added he , ` the man who brings it to me shall wed my daughter , and shall inherit my throne . '
` None can get it save Pinkel , ' said they ; for they did not imagine that the witch , after two warnings , could allow their brother to XXXXX a third time .
