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—Lots of Coins and the Piggy Bank. Lots of Coins liked to play 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, Lots of Coins 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 when it was with Rich Treasure.

The Piggy Bank was in a dilemma—without food, it had no strength to help Poor Treasure, but where could Poor Treasure find enough food to fill the Piggy Bank's belly? Just as Poor Treasure was in a bind, Rich Treasure rushed over with Lots of Coins and the Piggy Bank.
