Incapable of finding their way back, they run into a cottage and ask for shelter. The woman who opens the door tries to convince them to flee because her husband is an ogre particularly fond of children's flesh. But the five brothers insist to take refuge, choosing the ogre over the wolves. When the ogre comes back, he discovers the children and wishes to devour them immediately but his wife persuades him to until the next day.

He will learn the rules of power in this world and understand that nobody is to be trusted. Finally, it's as a rich powerful dominator that this sweet and discreet boy will be back in his family.
