Suddenly, an old man in a green coat comes to him. He says, "I will give you this coat. Its pocket will always be full of money!" The young man is stunned and curiously wears the green coat. The old man says, "But your name will be Bearskin! You cannot wash your hair, cut your hair, or cut your nails." The old man gives him a bearskin. "And you must sleep in this bearskin.
