And the dwarfs danced like anything for a good while, until Pero Gil told them to stop.
"Now you will take the sacks of money and carry them to my house."
The dwarfs obeyed without making the slightest observation, loading up those precious things.
"Leave us the bell," they said, "since you take away the riches."
Pero Gil was going to leave it, when he suddenly had a presentiment and thought better of it.
"This talisman shall never leave me."
Then the dwarfs carried the riches to his house, singing on the way:
"Don't let us guard the treasure now,
For it is being taken away
By this fortunate mortal
Who knows the signal."
So Captain Pero Gil became master of immense riches, which he distributed among his soldiers, naturally keeping for himself the largest part.
And whenever he thought of that famous adventure, he rightly used to say, "After all, the true talisman to get what we want is cunning and bravery."
