but when the dance was ended , she disappeared again so quickly that the king could not see which way she went . she ran to her little room and changed herself once more into the many - furred creature , and went into the kitchen to cook the bread - soup . when the cook was upstairs , she fetched the golden spinning - wheel and put it in the dish so that the soup was poured over it . it was brought to the king , who ate it , and liked it as much as the last time . he had the cook sent to him , and again he had to confess that the many - furred creature had cooked the soup . then the many - furred creature came before the king , but she said again that she was of no use except to have boots thrown at her head , and that she knew nothing at all of the golden spinning - wheel . when the king had a feast for the third time , things did not turn out quite the same as at the other two . the cook said , ' you must be a witch , many - furred creature , for you always put something in the soup , so that it is much better and tastes nicer to the king than any that i cook . ' but because she begged hard , he let her go up for the usual time . now she put on the dress as shining as the stars , and stepped into the hall in it .
why did the cook think the many-furred creature was a witch ?
she always put something in the soup , so that it is much better and tastes nicer to the king than any that he cooked .
they always put something in the soup , so that it is much better and tatses nicer to the king than any that i cook .
