"Snouk but and snouk ben,
I find the smell of an earthly man;
Be he living, or be he dead,
His heart shall be kitchen to my bread."

He quickly espied the young man, and bade him come forth on the floor.
And then he put the three questions to him; but the young man had been
told everything by the good fairy, so he was able to answer all the
questions. So when the first head asked, "What's the thing without an
end?" he said: "A bowl." And when the second head said: "The smaller
the more dangerous; what's that?" he said at once, "A bridge." And
last, the third head said: "When does the dead carry the living,
riddle me that?" Then the young man answered up at once and said:
"When a ship sails on the sea with men inside her." When the Ettin
found this, he knew that his power was gone. The young man then took
up an axe and hewed off the monster's three heads. He next asked the
old woman to show him where the king's daughter lay; and the old woman
took him upstairs, and opened a great many doors, and out of every
door came a beautiful lady who had been imprisoned there by the Ettin;
and one of the ladies was the king's daughter. She also took him down
into a low room, and there stood a stone pillar, that he had only to
touch with his wand, when his brother started into life. And the whole
of the prisoners were overjoyed at their deliverance, for which they
thanked the young man. Next day they all set out for the king's court,
and a gallant company they made. And the king married his daughter to
the young man that had delivered her, and gave a noble's daughter to
his brother; and so they all lived happily all the rest of their days.
