From the official guides

Once you take the frog to the smith, an odd chest appears where the smithy stands in the Dark World. Link can't open this chest. Carry it to that man who used to be a thief.

Former Thief

… … … … … … … … …

Why did you take my sign? It says plain as day to just leave me alone! Sheeesh!

I heard that you know I used to be a thief, right? Well, I'll open a chest for you. Will you keep it secret from everyone else? Would you please promise ? ▶ Promise not to tell Tell it to everyone

All right, bring that chest over here… Seriously, keep this a secret from everyone.

Remember, you promised… Don't tell anyone.

OK, if that's the way you want it, I hope you drag that chest around forever!

Storyteller

Heh heh. Thank you. To tell you the truth, I used to be a thief in the Light World… some of my fellow thieves went into hiding because they were afraid of being caught. One of them was a master locksmith, but now he is hiding the fact that he was a thief… …by pretending to be a strange middle-aged guy! Ha ha ha…
