And he said he would gladly do that , and so he gave her a piece of the bannock ; and for that she gied him a magical wand , that she said might yet be of service to him if he took care to use it rightly . Then the auld woman , who was a fairy , told him a great deal that whould happen to him , and what he ought to do in a ' circumstances ; and after that she vanished in an instant out o ' his sight . He gaed on a great way farther , and then he came up to the old man herding the sheep ; and when he asked whose sheep these were , the answer was : `` The Red Etin of Ireland Ance lived in Bellygan , And stole King Malcolm 's daughter , The King of fair Scotland . He beats her , he binds her , He lays her on a band ; And every day he dings her With a bright silver wand . Like Julian the Roman , He 's one that fears no man , But now I fear his end is near , And destiny at hand ; And you 're to be , I plainly see , The heir of all his land . '' -LRB- Repeat the same inquiries to the man attending the swine and the man attending the goats , with the same answer in each case . -RRB- When he came to the place where the monstrous beasts were standing , he did not stop nor run away , but went boldly through among them . One came up roaring with open mouth to devour him , when he struck it with his wand , and laid it in an instant dead at his feet . He soon came to the Etin 's castle , where he knocked , and was admitted . The auld woman that sat by the fire warned him of the terrible Etin , and what had been the fate of the twa brithers ; but he was not to be daunted . The monster soon came in , saying : `` Snouk but and snouk ben , I find the smell of an earthly man ; Be he living , or be he dead , His heart shall be kitchen to my bread . '' He quickly espied the young man , and bade him come forth on the floor . And then he put the three questions to him , but the young man had been told everything by the good fairy , so he was able to answer all the questions . When the Etin found this he knew that his power was gone . The young man then took up the axe and hewed off the monster 's three heads . He next asked the old woman to show him where the King 's daughters lay ; and the old woman took him upstairs and opened a great many doors , and out of every door came a beautiful lady who had been imprisoned there by the Etin ; and ane o ' the ladies was the King 's daughter . She also took him down into a low room , and there stood two stone pillars that he had only to touch wi ' his wand , when his two friends and neighbors started into life . And the hale o ' the prisoners were overjoyed at their deliverance , which they all acknowledged to be owing to the prudent young man . Next day they a ' set out for the King 's Court , and a gallant company they made . And the King married his daughter to the young man that had delivered her , and gave a noble 's daughter to ilk ane o ' the other young men ; and so they a ' lived happily a ' the rest o ' their days .
