If the statement were true, he would be fried in oil. Wild Man Dave found neither of these options to his liking, so he made a statement that got him out of this seemingly impossible situation. What is the one statement he could have made?

The fairies had no way our of their situation so they were forced to set Wild Man Dave free.
