' she answered , ' i have lost my way to my father 's kingdom , and i shall never get home again . ' then the voice from the iron stove said , ' i will help you to find your home again , and that in a very short time , if you will promise to do what i ask you . i am a greater prince than you are a princess , and i will marry you . ' then she grew frightened , and thought , ' what can a young lassie do with an iron stove ? ' but as she wanted very much to go home to her father , she promised to do what he wished . he said , ' you must come again , and bring a knife with you to scrape a hole in the iron . '
