Big Smart, Jingle from Kaifeng Prefecture, and Big Ears from the Forsaken Quarter are having a meeting. Jingle…
Big Smart, Jingle from Kaifeng Prefecture, and Big Ears from the Forsaken Quarter are having a meeting. Jingle brings news: Skilled thieves in black robes in the city can steal treasures in the blink of an eye.
As they say, better a thief steal than a thief scheme. Big Smart figures those black robes will eventually target his treasure, his cloth tiger.
But after woofing at each other for ages, glancing back and forth, none of them has any good ideas.
Suddenly, Meow Meow, who has been watching nearby, pads over lightly. She licks her paw and deigns to speak: "I have a brilliant plan. I know a wanderer who is kind, capable, and loyal. Why not entrust your treasures to him?"
Big Smart's heart leaps. Yes! That's it! Give him the treasures, and never worry again!
All the dogs wag their tails excitedly, barking, "Meow-velous! Purr-fect!"
They must act fast. Until the wanderer has his treasure, Big Smart cannot rest easy.
He quickly buries everything, then stands guard in plain sight day and night, hoping the wanderer will come soon.
