Aha! The two animals thought the begger was fast asleep. First, I was wondering why will Bernèz take the begger to a stable to sleep but then it seems that was the perfect place for him as he met those two animals there discussing about the treasures under the stones of Plouhinec, he deaf pretending to be asleep and he heard everything. Now is left for him to act on it and become rich. I am certain this is where the poor boy who is in love with the rich man's daughter will come in too.
It's good to have a portrait of where you started your career, at least that's a good memory to keep. It looks amazing.
