The next morning, Oswald delivers a letter to the mayor of Windtale. The letter is addressed to "Mr. Bossack" , and it explains that the town has become very sensitive to foreigners in recent months. Oswald tells the mayor that he is a businessman, and the townspeople are his customers. He says that the mayor has spread rumors about foreigners that have changed since Oswald last visited the town. Oswald says that he knows who is behind the rumors, but he is playing it off as if he has nothing to do with them. He tells Oswald that he has already given them so much help, and that they are grateful to him for it. Oswald asks how he can smile when he feels that his two friends have left him, and Oswald replies that he does not need to apologize for his kindness. He then asks the mayor to put him in his place.
