A farmer had twelve sons, the youngest of these he named Esben. He was small in contrast to his brothers who were all big and strong. One day the brothers persuaded their father to let them seek their fortunes. He gave each of them a horse and a small sum of money to help them on their way, Esben decided he too would leave although his father refused to aid him as he had his other sons. Upon leaving Esben peeled the bark from a stick until it was whiter than all his brother’s horses and rode off on it. So that night the brothers left on their proud horses with Esben travelling on the stick he had found on the ground… After a few days the eleven brothers came upon a small house in a forest. This was home to an old hag who not only allowed the brothers to stay for as many nights as they wished, she also gave each of them one of her daughters for company. The brothers were most pleased and prepared for bed. Esben did not sleep, he lay awake for some time troubled by some unsettling thought that he couldn’t quite place. He left the bed and began to sneak through the ruined cottage; he visited each of his brother’s rooms where they slept with the hags daughters. He quietly ordered his brothers to secretly swap their nightcaps with their partner’s caps. At midnight the witch came with a knife and cut all of her daughter’s throats. Esben and his brothers fled, the eleven leaving him behind as they urged their horses on frantically.
