But the cook answered , ` There is heat enough there ; see for yourself . ' Then the King saw a huge fire burning under the iron room , and understood that he could do no harm to the Six in this way . The King now began again to think how he could free himself from his unwelcome guests . He commanded the master to come before him , and said , ` If you will take gold , and give up your right to my daughter , you shall have as much as you like . ' ` Oh , yes , your Majesty , ' answered he , ` give me as much as my servant can carry , and I will give up your daughter . ' The King was delighted , and the man said , ' I will come and fetch it in fourteen days . ' Then he called all the tailors in the kingdom together , and made them sit down for fourteen days sewing at a sack . When it was finished , he made the strong man who had uprooted the trees take the sack on his shoulder and go with him to the King . Then the King said , ` What a powerful fellow that is , carrying that bale of linen as large as a house on his shoulder ! ' and he was much frightened , and thought ` What a lot of gold he will make away with ! ' Then he had a ton of gold brought , which sixteen of the strongest men had to carry ; but the strong man seized it with one hand , put it in the sack , saying , ` Why do n't you bring me more ? That scarcely covers the bottom ! ' Then the King had to send again and again to fetch his treasures , which the strong man shoved into the sack , and the sack was only half full . ` Bring more , ' he cried , ` these crumbs do n't fill it . ' So seven thousand waggons of the gold of the whole kingdom were driven up ; these the strong man shoved into the sack , oxen and all . ' I will no longer be particular , ' he said , ` and will take what comes , so that the sack shall be full . ' When everything was put in and there was not yet enough , he said , ' I will make an end of this ; it is easy to fasten a sack when it is not full . ' Then he threw it on his back and went with his companions . Now , when the King saw how a single man was carrying away the wealth of the whole country he was very angry , and made his cavalry mount and pursue the Six , and bring back the strong man with the sack . Two regiments soon overtook them , and called to them , ` You are prisoners !
lay down the sack XXXXX gold or you shall be cut down . '
