` But I want the key , ' she repeated again . However the ogre took no notice , and pretended not to hear . The girl began to cry , and said to herself : ` To-night , when he thinks I am asleep , I will watch and see where he hides it ' ; and after she and the ogre had supped , she bade him good-night , and left the room . In a few minutes she stole quietly back , and watched from behind a curtain . In a little while she saw the ogre take the key from his pocket , and hide it in a hole in the ground before he went to bed . And when all was still she took out the key , and went back to the house . The next morning the ogre awoke with the first ray of light , and the first thing he did was to look for the key . It was gone , and he guessed at once what had become of it . But instead of getting into a great rage , as most ogres would have done , he said to himself , ` If I wake the maiden up I shall only frighten her . For to-day she shall keep the key , and when I return to-night it will be time enough to take it from her . ' So he went off to hunt . The moment he was safe out of the way , the girl ran upstairs and opened the door of the room , which was quite bare . The one window was closed , and she threw back the lattice and looked out . Beneath lay a garden which belonged to the Prince , and in the garden was an ox , who was drawing up water from the well all by himself -- for there was nobody to be seen anywhere . The ox raised his head at the noise the girl made in opening the lattice , and said to her , ` Good morning , O daughter of Buk Ettemsuch ! Your father is feeding you up till you are nice and fat , and then he will put you on a spit and cook you . ' These words so frightened the maiden that she burst into tears and ran out of the room . All day she wept , and when the ogre came home at night , no supper was ready for him . ` What are you crying for ? ' said he .
` Where is my supper , and is it you who have XXXXX the upper chamber ? '
