That’s why he says yes when two strangers ask for his help in finding a valuable fighting cock that was stolen just when, what bad luck!, it was in their custody. The animal’s owner, a man famous for his cruelty, gave them a week to get the rooster back. If they did’t find him they would disappear too, forever.
