The four friends live together, revealing through various philosophical short stories how to understand, treat, and use money, helping children develop good financial habits and attitudes. Long, long ago, in a remote village, there was a red house where two little treasures lived. Rich Treasure's room was always tidy and beautiful, while the other room, messy and disorganized, was home to Poor Treasure. They had two common friends—Coin and the Piggy Bank. Coin liked playing games in Rich Treasure's room because it had all kinds of toys, many interesting books, and delicious snacks. In Poor Treasure's messy room, Coin only wanted to take a nap. The Piggy Bank was even unwilling to let Poor Treasure take care of it because there were no delicious snacks in Poor Treasure's house, and even basic food was often scarce. The Piggy Bank could only eat well and grow bigger at Rich Treasure's place. Rich Treasure worried that everyone would neglect Poor Treasure, so she often invited Poor Treasure over for visits and encouraged Coin and the Piggy Bank to help clean Poor Treasure's house. Rich Treasure's kindness won everyone's affection. One day, a fierce storm destroyed the red house where Rich Treasure and Poor Treasure lived, turning their home into ruins. Poor Treasure was very anxious and quickly looked for Coin for help, but Coin couldn't help but fall asleep the moment he saw Poor Treasure. With no other choice, Poor Treasure had to look for the Piggy Bank. The Piggy Bank was in a dilemma—he had no energy to help Poor Treasure if he didn't eat, but Poor Treasure had no food to fill the Piggy Bank's belly. Just as Poor Treasure was worried, Rich Treasure rushed over with Coin and the Piggy Bank. It turned out that Rich Treasure had already fed the Piggy Bank, and with Rich Treasure's encouragement, Coin was also motivated. Together, they moved bricks and wood, using their wisdom to rebuild a new, more beautiful home than before. Poor Treasure felt ashamed but was also grateful to Rich Treasure. Without the help of his friends, he wouldn't have a home. Determined to learn from Rich Treasure, Poor Treasure wondered how he could do so.
