But I will teach you how to do it ; you must turn your pitchfork upside down , and work with the handle , and then all will fly out of its own accord . '' `` Yes , I will attend to that , '' said the Prince , and stayed sitting where he was the whole day , for it was soon settled between them that they would marry each other , he and the King 's daughter ; so the first day of his service with the giant did not seem long to him . But when evening was drawing near she said that it would now be better for him to clean out the stable before the giant came home . When he got there he had a fancy to try if what she had said were true , so he began to work in the same way that he had seen the stable-boys doing in his father 's stables , but he soon saw that he must give up that , for when he had worked a very short time he had scarcely any room left to stand . So he did what the Princess had taught him , turned the pitchfork round , and worked with the handle , and in the twinkling of an eye the stable was as clean as if it had been scoured . When he had done that , he went back again into the room in which the giant had given him leave to stay , and there he walked backward and forward on the floor , and began to hum and sing . Then came the giant home with the goats . `` Have you cleaned the stable ? '' asked the giant . `` Yes , now it is clean and sweet , master , '' said the King 's son . `` I shall see about that , '' said the giant , and went round to the stable , but it was just as the Prince had said . `` You have certainly been talking to my Master-maid , for you never got that out of your own head , '' said the giant . `` Master-maid ! What kind of a thing is that , master ? '' said the Prince , making himself look as stupid as an ass ; `` I should like to see that . '' `` Well , you will see her quite soon enough , '' said the giant . On the second morning the giant had again to go out with his goats , so he told the Prince that on that day he was to fetch home his horse , which was out on the mountain-side , and when he had done that he might rest himself for the remainder of the day , `` for you have come to a kind master , and that you shall find , '' said the giant once more . `` But do not go into any of the rooms that I spoke of yesterday , or I will wring your head off , '' said he , and then went away with his flock of goats . `` Yes , indeed , you are a kind master , '' said the Prince ; `` but I will go in and talk to the Master-maid again ; perhaps before long she may like better to be mine than yours . '' So he went to her .
Then she asked him what he had XXXXX do that day .
