You persuaded me to fly with you , and then left me helplessly to my fate . ' ` Shall I tell you the truth ? ' asked he . ` Tell it . ' ' I thought you were a witch , and I was afraid of you . ' ` Did you not see me before my transformation ? and did you not watch it happen under your very eyes , when the ogre bewitched me ? ' ` What shall I do ? ' said Dschemil . ` If I take you into the town , everyone will laugh , and say , `` Is that a new kind of toy you have got ? It has hands like a woman , feet like a woman , the body of a woman ; but its head is the head of an ass , and its hair is fur . '' ' ` Well , what do you mean to do with me ? ' asked Dschemila . ` Better take me home to my mother by night , and tell no one anything about it . ' ` So I will , ' said he . They waited where they were till it was nearly dark , then Dschemil brought his cousin home . ` Is that Dschemil ? ' asked the mother when he knocked softly . ` Yes , it is . ' ` And have you found her ? '
` Yes , and I have XXXXX her to you . '
