Look at this treasure it has shiny coins and jelewry! I shall take this treasure and become rich. Like Paris Hilton and buy myself a tiny dog! Maybe I can travel to France, Japan, or China with my private jet. But how shall I take this heavy treasure off this tiny island. I can’t share with these people or they might take my treasure away! I guess I shall stay here and die with greed.
