In this story, the maiden is taken away and placed in a tower controlled what appears to be a young man. The maiden's greatest fear is having to be stuck with this man who she later finds out is actually an ogre who turns himself into a man right before meeting with her every time he feeds her. He greatest hope is getting away and she increases her chances by dropping her clothes from the tower to a man walking by. The clothes are brought to her family where the brother takes charge and goes in and saves the young maiden.
