she called to her husband , ' I have got hold of Halfman . I am going to roast him , so be quick and make up the fire ! ' So the ogre brought wood , and heaped it up till the flames roared up the chimney . Then he turned to his wife and said : ` It is all ready , let us put him on ! ' ` What is the hurry , my good ogre ? ' asked Halfman . ` You have me in your power , and I can not escape . I am so thin now , I shall hardly make one mouthful . Better fatten me up ; you will enjoy me much more . ' ` That is a very sensible remark , ' replied the ogre ; ` but what fattens you quickest ? ' ` Butter , meat , and red wine , ' answered Halfman . ` Very good ; we will lock you into this room , and here you shall stay till you are ready for eating . ' So Halfman was locked into the room , and the ogre and his wife brought him his food . At the end of three months he said to his gaolers : ` Now I have got quite fat ; take me out , and kill me . ' ` Get out , then ! ' said the ogre . ` But , ' went on Halfman , ` you and your wife had better go to invite your friends to the feast , and your daughter can stay in the house and look after me ! ' ` Yes , that is a good idea , ' answered they . ` You had better bring the wood in here , ' continued Halfman , ` and I will split it up small , so that there may be no delay in cooking me . ' So the ogress gave Halfman a pile of wood and an axe , and then set out with her husband , leaving Halfman and her daughter busy in the house .
After he had chopped XXXXX a little while he called to the girl , ` Come and help me , or else I sha n't have it all ready when your mother gets back . '
