The chapter opens with a description of the situation at the sugar factory. It's clear that the factory has lost a lot of money. The guys are worried about the bear and the boy, but they're also worried about what's going to happen to the girl. They hear the furmen talking about a girl, and they decide to chase them down. They see a bear in the middle of the town, and the guys decide to go after it. They run into the guys, who ask them if they'd like a reward for finding their brother. They're not sure what to say, but the guys tell them that they've made a deal: they'll help them find their brother, but first, they have to find a way to get him back to the factory.
