The King said to them , ` Go in and enjoy yourselves , ' and as soon as they were inside he had the doors shut and bolted . Then he made the cook come , and ordered him to keep up a large fire under the room until the iron was red-hot . The cook did so , and the Six sitting round the table felt it grow very warm , and they thought this was because of their good fare ; but when the heat became still greater and they wanted to go out , but found the doors and windows fastened , then they knew that the King meant them harm and was trying to suffocate them . ` But he shall not succeed , ' cried he of the little hat , ' I will make a frost come which shall make the fire ashamed and die out ! ' So he put his hat on straight , and at once there came such a frost that all the heat disappeared and the food on the dishes began to freeze . When a couple of hours had passed , and the King thought they must be quite dead from the heat , he had the doors opened and went in himself to see . But when the doors were opened , there stood all Six , alive and well , saying they were glad they could come out to warm themselves , for the great cold in the room had frozen all the food hard in the dishes . Then the King went angrily to the cook , and scolded him , and asked him why he had not done what he was told . But the cook answered , ` There is heat enough there ; see for yourself . ' Then the King saw a huge fire burning under the iron room , and understood that he could do no harm to the Six in this way . The King now began again to think how he could free himself from his unwelcome guests . He commanded the master to come before him , and said , ` If you will take gold , and give up your right to my daughter , you shall have as much as you like . ' ` Oh , yes , your Majesty , ' answered he , ` give me as much as my servant can carry , and I will give up your daughter . ' The King was delighted , and the man said , ' I will come and fetch it in fourteen days . ' Then he called all the tailors in the kingdom together , and made them sit down for fourteen days sewing at a sack . When it was finished , he made the strong man who had uprooted the trees take the sack on his shoulder and go with him to the King . Then the King said , ` What a powerful fellow that is , carrying that bale of linen as large as a house on his shoulder ! ' and he was much frightened , and thought ` What a lot of gold he will make away with ! ' Then he had a ton of gold brought , which sixteen of the strongest men had to carry ; but the strong man seized it with one hand , put it in the sack , saying , ` Why do n't you bring me more ? That scarcely covers the bottom ! '
Then the King had to send again and again to XXXXX his treasures , which the strong man shoved into the sack , and the sack was only half full .
