Then she was taken out , and had to scrape for four-and-twenty hours , but she could make no impression . As soon as the day broke the voice from the stove called out , ` It seems to be daylight outside . ' Then she answered , ` It seems so to me too ; I think I hear my father blowing his horn . ' ` So you are a swineherd 's daughter ! Go away at once , and let the King 's daughter come . And say to her that what I foretell shall come to pass , and if she does not come everything in the kingdom shall fall into ruin , and not one stone shall be left upon another . ' When the Princess heard this she began to cry , but it was no good ; she had to keep her word . She took leave of her father , put a knife in her belt , and went to the iron stove in the wood . As soon as she reached it she began to scrape , and the iron gave way and before two hours had passed she had made a little hole . Then she peeped in and saw such a beautiful youth all shining with gold and precious stones that she fell in love with him on the spot . So she scraped away harder than ever , and made the hole so large that he could get out . Then he said , ` You are mine , and I am thine ; you are my bride and have set me free ! ' He wanted to take her with him to his kingdom , but she begged him just to let her go once more to her father ; and the Prince let her go , but told her not to say more than three words to her father , then to come back again . So she went home , but alas ! she said MORE THAN THREE WORDS ; and immediately the iron stove vanished and went away over a mountain of glass and sharp swords . But the Prince was free , and was no longer shut up in it . Then she said good-bye to her father , and took a little money with her , and went again into the great wood to look for the iron stove ; but she could not find it . She sought it for nine days , and then her hunger became so great that she did not know how she could live any longer . And when it was evening she climbed a little tree and wished that the night would not come , because she was afraid of the wild beasts . When midnight came she saw afar off a little light , and thought , ` Ah !
XXXXX only I could reach that ! '
