Im going to find that box, the box thats been missing for a hundred years Do you know, there are precious gems in it, worth a kings ransom? Emeralds the size of a roosters egg, rubies as big as pigeons eggs, pearls the size of a ducks egg! Aunt Podis treasured Burmese box was a part of family history. When Panchu Mama narrates the hair-raising story of how it was acquired and the mysterious circumstances in which it got lost, Goopy decides to find the fabled box and its precious contents.
