The daughter then made the oven as hot as could be , and took Esben out of his prison in order to roast him . She brought the oven spade , and told Esben to seat himself on it , so that she could shoot him into the oven . Esben accordingly took his seat on it , but when she had got him to the mouth of the oven he spread his legs out wide , so that she could not get him pushed in . ` You must n't sit like that , ' said she . ` How then ? ' said Esben . ` You must cross your legs , ' said the daughter ; but Esben could not understand what she meant by this . ` Get out of the way , ' said she , ` and I will show you how to place yourself . ' She seated herself on the oven spade , but no sooner had she done so than Esben laid hold of it , shot her into the oven , and fastened the door of it . Then he ran and seized the coverlet , but as soon as he did so it sounded so that it could be heard over eight kingdoms , and the witch , who was at Troms Church , came flying home , and shouted , ` Hey ! is that you again , Esben ? ' ` Ye -- e -- s ! ' ` It was you that made me kill my eleven daughters ? ' ` Ye -- e -- s ! ' ` And took my dove ? ' ` Ye -- e -- s ! ' ` And my beautiful boar ? ' ` Ye -- e -- s ! ' ` And drowned my twelfth daughter in the well , and took my lamp ? ' ` Ye -- e -- s ! '
` And now you have roasted my thirteenth and last daughter XXXXX the oven , and taken my coverlet ? '
