Very interesting how she turns everything in her favour, trying to get rid of the bandits..."Tis so!" the police is here and they need to go back in the chest, where they came from, so innocent and clever Martha,
managed the situation extremely well...don't forget their names...Luigi(the fat man),Beni(the middle sized) and Victor(the thin man)... These respectful men, that you couldn't find all other three "in the whole world",are quite naive, but "wicked" as they proclame themselves. Unfortunately they arrived in the wrong place, and the wrong period, because "here" in America they do not know"whom to rob or how much to ask for a ransom". When Martha tries to find them the right job for them, they do not want to abandon their "true calling". When the girl says there is nothing to rob, because they all have been robbed, they decide to rob the robbers, cause they have "great experience and talent"in robbing. Starting with the house they are in, after scarrying Martha with their supposed cruel behaviour, they appologised her and assured her they won't do any harm to such a young lady...How they enjoyed the pie and shared it as comrades...but their joy was short because of the postman and Martha's idea with the 112 policemen tunned with axes, pistols,swords and cannons, that made them call Americans "painted indians who are bloodthirsty and terrible". So the little girl made them go back into the chest a bit heavier because of the pie they ate.The ending/conclusion given by the author is great, by the way, so I quote it:"This story should teach us not to interfere in matters that do not concern us. For had Martha refrained from opening Uncle Walter's mysterious chest she would not have been obliged to carry downstairs all the plunder the robbers had brought into the attic."
Now she would have bored playing with her four dolls and the dolls' house she was looking for...
