The chapter opens with a description of a grand mansion that is guarded at night. There is a man who lives in the mansion, but he is terrified and sits up all night worrying about what has happened to his master. The master tells the story of how they taught the man a lesson, but the drama soon came to an end with the screams of the mansion. The man tells the master that they are going to have dinner in a nice restaurant in town, and the man had distracted his attention by talking about food. He tells the man that he just sold 300 head of cattle, so he has enough money to have a decent meal in town
