After spending all his gold coins on his weapons, the young man is now broke. He begs his father, the serpent, to give him his weapons. The serpent refuses, saying that his son is crazy. The doctor comes in and tells the father that he is afraid the boy is going to kill him. The father says that it is okay for him to ignore the doctor, but he does not want to declare war on the serpent's house, which is owned by his son. The young man says that he cannot back down, and the doctor tells him that he will see him as an enemy if he provokes the serpent gang into war
