" he fastened the piece of paper , signed by all his four companions , on the gate , and then turned his horse 's head towards home .

it was a very dark night , and there was neither moon nor star to light watanabe on his way . to make the darkness worse a storm came on , the rain fell heavily and the wind howled like wolves in the mountains . any ordinary man would have trembled at the thought of going out of doors , but watanabe was a brave warrior and dauntless , and his honor and word were at stake , so he sped on into the night , while his companions listened to the sound of his horse 's hoofs dying away in the distance , then shut the sliding shutters close and gathered round the charcoal fire and wondered what would happen - and whether their comrade would encounter one of those horrible oni . watanabe 's eyes grew large with wonder , for he saw that the ogre was taller than the great gate , his eyes were flashing like mirrors in the sunlight , and his huge mouth was wide open , and as the monster breathed , flames of fire shot out of his mouth . the ogre thought to terrify his foe , but watanabe never flinched . he attacked the ogre with all his strength , and thus they fought face to face for a long time . at last the ogre , finding that he could neither frighten nor beat watanabe and that he might himself be beaten , took to flight . but watanabe , determined not to let the monster escape , put spurs to his horse and gave chase .

then they went their way deeper into the wood , and in the middle of it , where it was thickest and darkest , they came upon a little enchanted house which stood empty . ' here , ' they said , ' let us take up our abode , and you , benjamin , you are the youngest and weakest , you shall stay at home and keep house for us ; we others will go out and fetch food . ' so they went forth into the wood , and shot hares and roe - deer , birds and wood - pigeons , and any other game they came across . they always brought their spoils home to benjamin , who soon learnt to make them into dainty dishes . so they lived for ten years in this little house , and the time slipped merrily away .

in the meantime their little sister at home was growing up quickly . she was kind - hearted and of a fair countenance , and she had a gold star right in the middle of her forehead . one day a big washing was going on at the palace , and the girl looking down from her window saw twelve men 's shirts hanging up to dry , and asked her mother : ' who in the world do these shirts belong to ? surely they are far too small for my father ? ' and the queen answered sadly : ' dear child , they belong to your twelve brothers . ' ' but where are my twelve brothers ? ' said the girl . ' i have never even heard of them . ' ' heaven alone knows in what part of the wide world they are wandering , ' replied her mother . then she took the girl and opened the locked - up room ; she showed her the twelve coffins filled with shavings , and with the little pillow laid in each .

' these coffins , ' she said , ' were intended for your brothers , but they stole secretly away before you were born . ' then she to tell her all that had happened , and when she had finished her daughter said : ' do not cry , dearest mother ; i will go and seek my brothers till i find them . ' so she took the twelve shirts and went on straight into the middle of the big wood . she walked all day long , and came in the evening to the little enchanted house . she stepped in and found a youth who , marvelling at her beauty , at the royal robes she wore , and at the golden star on her forehead , asked her where she came from and whither she was going . ' i am a princess , ' she answered , ' and am seeking for my twelve brothers . i mean to wander as far as the blue sky stretches over the earth till i find them . '

then she showed him the twelve shirts which she had taken with her , and benjamin saw that it must be his sister , and said : ' i am benjamin , your youngest brother . ' so they wept for joy , and kissed and hugged each other again and again . after a time benjamin said : ' dear sister , there is still a little difficulty , for we had all agreed that any girl we met should die at our hands , because it was for the sake of a girl that we had to leave our kingdom . ' ' but , ' she replied , ' i will gladly die if by that means i can restore my twelve brothers to their own . ' ' no , ' he answered , ' there is no need for that ; only go and hide under that tub till our eleven brothers come in , and i 'll soon make matters right with them . '

the girl asked , sobbing : ' is there no means of setting them free ? ' ' no , ' said the old woman , ' there is only one way in the whole world , and that is so difficult that you wo n't free them by it , for you would have to be dumb and not laugh for seven years , and if you spoke a single word , though but an hour were wanting to the time , your silence would all have been in vain , and that one word would slay your brothers . ' then the girl said to herself : ' if that is all i am quite sure i can free my brothers . ' so she searched for a high tree , and when she had found one she climbed up it and spun all day long , never laughing or speaking one word .

now there was a little garden round the enchanted house , in which grew twelve tall lilies . the girl , wishing to please her brothers , plucked the twelve flowers , meaning to present one to each of them as they sat at supper . but hardly had she plucked the flowers when her brothers were turned into twelve ravens , who flew croaking over the wood , and the house and garden vanished also . so the poor girl found herself left all alone in the wood , and as she looked round her she noticed an old woman standing close beside her , who said : ' my child , what have you done ? why did n't you leave the flowers alone ? they were your twelve brothers . now they are changed for ever into ravens . ' the girl asked , sobbing : ' is there no means of setting them free ? ' ' no , ' said the old woman , ' there is only one way in the whole world , and that is so difficult that you wo n't free them by it , for you would have to be dumb and not laugh for seven years , and if you spoke a single word , though but an hour were wanting to the time , your silence would all have been in vain , and that one word would slay your brothers .
