I have been so lucky as to find it , and am bringing it with me ; but the heat of the sun is so great that the tender cabbage threatens to grow soft , and I do not know if I shall be able to bring it any farther . ' When the old witch heard of the fine salad she wanted to eat it , and said , ` Dear countryman , just let me taste the wonderful salad . ' ` Why not ? ' he answered ; ' I have brought two heads with me , and will give you one . ' So saying , he opened his sack and gave her the bad one . The witch suspected no evil , and her mouth watered to taste the new dish , so that she went into the kitchen to prepare it herself . When it was ready she could not wait till it was served at the table , but she immediately took a couple of leaves and put them in her mouth . No sooner , however , had she swallowed them than she lost human form , and ran into the courtyard in the shape of a donkey . Now the servant came into the kitchen , and when she saw the salad standing there ready cooked she was about to carry it up , but on the way , according to her old habit , she tasted it and ate a couple of leaves . Immediately the charm worked , and she became a donkey , and ran out to join the old witch , and the dish with the salad in it fell to the ground . In the meantime , the messenger was sitting with the lovely maiden , and as no one came with the salad , and she wanted very much to taste it , she said , ' I do n't know where the salad is . ' Then thought the Hunter , ` The cabbage must have already begun to work . ' And he said , ' I will go to the kitchen and fetch it myself . ' When he came there he saw the two donkeys running about in the courtyard , but the salad was lying on the ground . ` That 's all right , ' said he ; ` two have had their share ! ' And lifting the remaining leaves up , he laid them on the dish and brought them to the maiden . ' I am bringing you the delicious food my own self , ' he said , ` so that you need not wait any longer . ' Then she ate , and , as the others had done , she at once lost her human form , and ran as a donkey into the yard . When the Hunter had washed his face , so that the changed ones might know him , he went into the yard , saying , ` Now you shall receive a reward for your faithlessness . ' He tied them all three with a rope , and drove them away till he came to a mill .
He knocked XXXXX the window , and the miller put his head out and asked what he wanted . '
