He goes to bed then with the Tartaro. But he knew that there was a
dead man under the bed. When the Tartaro was asleep what does the
madman do? He places the dead man by the Tartaro's side, and gets
under the bed himself. In the middle of the night the Tartaro gets
up, and takes his terrible bar of iron and showers blows upon blows,
ping pan, ping pan, as long and as hard as he could give them.
The Tartaro gets up as usual, and goes to see his pigs, and the madman
also comes out from under the bed; and he goes to see the pigs too. The
Tartaro is quite astounded to see him coming, and does not know what
to think of it. He says to himself that he has to do with a cleverer
than he; but he asks him if he has slept well.
