“Now ask for one like the sky with the stars in it,” said the dog: and the bear soon came back with that as well.
“What shall I do now?” asked Teresina.
“You must ask for a nice silk handkerchief for your head.”
So the bear brought the most beautiful that ever was seen.
“What can I say next?” said Teresina, “I shall have to let him in.”
“No, no, ask for a fan.”
The bear brought a fan such as Teresina had never imagined.
“One thing more,” said the dog; “ask for a chest of linen.”
Again Teresina followed the animal’s advice, and almost immediately the bear appeared at the door with the chest of linen. But just as he arrived the sun rose, and he was obliged to go away. Then Teresina put the chest on her head, took up her dresses, her handkerchief and her fan, and went away home with the cat and the dog.
When she appeared among the trees before the house, Luisa was first of all very much disappointed, for she thought that the bear had certainly eaten her sister; but when Teresina showed all her beautiful things, then Luisa fairly cried with spite.
