The Treasure Chest of the Sea

SODCO cast a golden net into the lake. The net grew so heavy, SODCO had to use every muscle in his body to pull it back in. As soon as he dragged the net up onto the shore, he saw where all the weight had come from. A treasure chest was wooden and bound in brass. Shimmering pearls, iridescent shells, twinkling aquamarine were inside. With riches like these, I will never have to play at those merchants, rowdy feasts, ever again. My days of worrying about putting bread in my belly are over.
