The work went merrily on , and they talked gaily , and the young man told his friends of the payment promised him by the ogress if he had done her bidding . The old men warned him that he must ask her for the chest which stood at the foot of her bed , for whatever lay on the top of the bed , and for what lay under the side of the cave . The young man thanked them for their counsel , and Tritill and Litill then took leave of him , saying that for the present he would need them no more . Scarcely had they disappeared when the ogress came back , and found everything ready just as she had ordered . Before she sat down to eat the bullock 's heart she turned to the young man , and said : ` You did not do that all alone , my friend ; but , nevertheless , I will keep my word , and to-morrow you shall go your way . ' So they went to bed and slept till dawn . When the sun rose the ogress awoke the young man , and called to him to choose any three things out of her house . ' I choose , ' answered he , ` the chest which stands at the foot of your bed ; whatever lies on the top of the bed , and whatever is under the side of the cave . ' ` You did not choose those things by yourself , my friend , ' said the ogress ; ` but what I have promised , that will I do . ' And then she gave him his reward . ` The thing which lay on the top of the bed ' turned out to be the lost princess . ` The chest which stood at the foot of the bed ' proved full of gold and precious stones ; and ` what was under the side of the cave ' he found to be a great ship , with oars and sails that went of itself as well on land as in the water . ` You are the luckiest man that ever was born , ' said the ogress as she went out of the cave as usual . With much difficulty the youth put the heavy chest on his shoulders and carried it on board the ship , the princess walking by his side . Then he took the helm and steered the vessel back to her father 's kingdom . The king 's joy at receiving back his lost daughter was so great that he almost fainted , but when he recovered himself he made the young man tell him how everything had really happened . ` You have found her , and you shall marry her , ' said the king ; and so it was done . And this is the end of the story . -LSB- From Ungarische Mahrchen . -RSB- The Three Robes Long , long ago , a king and queen reigned over a large and powerful country .
