The daughter came back then and put in the meal , and after it had boiled a little she took it in to her mother . The witch took a spoonful and tasted it . ` Uh ! ' said she ; ` did n't I tell you not to put any salt in it , and it 's just as salt as the sea . ' So the daughter had to go and make new porridge , and her mother warned her strictly not to put any salt in it . But now there was no water in the house , so she asked her mother to give her the lamp , so that she could go to the well for more . ` There you have it , then , ' said the witch ; ` but take good care of it . ' The daughter took the lamp which shone over seven kingdoms , and went out to the well for water , while Esben slipped out after her . When she was going to draw the water from the well she set the lamp down on a stone beside her . Esben watched his chance , seized the lamp , and gave her a push from behind , so that she plumped head first into the well . Then he made off with the lamp . But the witch got out of her bed and ran after him , crying : ` Hey ! is that you again , Esben ? ' ` Ye -- e -- s ! ' ` Was it you that took my dove ? ' ` Ye -- e -- s ! ' ` Was it also you that took my boar ? ' ` Ye -- e -- s ! ' ` And it was you that made me kill my eleven daughters ? ' ` Ye -- e -- s ! '
` And now you have taken my XXXXX , and drowned my twelfth daughter in the well ? '
