Lastly , you will find a well on your left ; do not forget to take the cord of the bucket and spread it in the sun . When you have done this , do not enter the castle , but go round it and enter the orange grove . Then gather three oranges , and get back to the gate as fast as you can . Once out of the gate , leave the forest by the opposite side . ` Now , attend to this : whatever happens , do not open your oranges till you reach the bank of a river , or a fountain . Out of each orange will come a princess , and you can choose which you like for your wife . Your choice once made , be very careful never to leave your bride for an instant , and remember that the danger which is most to be feared is never the danger we are most afraid of . ' V Desire thanked his host warmly , and took the road he pointed out . In less than an hour he arrived at the wall , which was very high indeed . He sprang to the ground , fastened his horse to a tree , and soon found the iron gate . Then he took out his bottle and oiled the hinges , when the gate opened of itself , and he saw an old castle standing inside . The Prince entered boldly into the courtyard . Suddenly he heard fierce howls , and a dog as tall as a donkey , with eyes like billiard balls , came towards him , showing his teeth , which were like the prongs of a fork . Desire flung him the oat cake , which the great dog instantly snapped up , and the young Prince passed quietly on . A few yards further he saw a huge oven , with a wide , red-hot gaping mouth . A woman as tall as a giant was leaning over the oven . Desire gave her the brush , which she took in silence . Then he went on to the well , drew up the cord , which was half rotten , and stretched it out in the sun . Lastly he went round the castle , and plunged into the orange grove . There he gathered the three most beautiful oranges he could find , and turned to go back to the gate .
But just at this moment the sun was darkened , the earth trembled , and Desire heard a voice crying : ` Baker , baker , take him by his feet , and throw him XXXXX the oven ! '
