Hasan will be able to drape his wife

in rubies and emeralds.

Hasan, maybe you wanna marry

a nice girl?

Haa? Me?

That's a good one.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha...

...and our ten kids will call me daddy,

daddy, daddy.

They'll all wanna play something

different at the same time...

...and then I'll call you to come

and babysit.

And as for me,

I'd like to have my very own zoo.

With all kinds of animals like elephants

and tigers and zebras,

and my zoo would also have birds

like a peacock.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Enough!

That's enough.

Enough dreaming and planning.

This money isn't even ours.

It belongs to Al

Now, Al sold us this place...

...not his belongings.

Haaaa...

Mmm, uh, but dad.

I found it inside a wall.

If I hadn't used my own two hands

to dig it out...

...the jar would still be there.

I don't understand. Uhhh,

It's a once in a lifetime chance.

You're not gonna throw this

opportunity away?

Throw away?

Something that isn't mine?

The treasure obviously belongs to someone,

but it certainly doesn't belong to us.

Well, just, just a minute, Amine.

We own the house and it includes the land,

ceiling and walls.

The jar was inside a wall that we own.

I think it is ours.

Please think about this carefully.

Why should I think about it?

There's no need to think when I know

the right answer already.

The jar is Al's... and only Al's.

We'll return it to him right away.

Ya, but wouldn't he take it with him?

How could he forget a treasure like this.

Insane, the man's insane.

Hasan's right.

Now just listen for a second, okay?

What if we discovered oil on our land...

...would it, would it belong to Al?

Well...

...the situation's totally different.

One's a natural resource...

...and the other was placed there by someone.

But what about all of our debts.

I'm gonna have to start selling

my keepsakes soon.

This money will really help.

Our situation has nothing to do with it.

We should do what's right.

Besides, found money is not the same...

...as money you've worked for.

Everything we have should be earned.

Hasan, put the gold back into the jar

right now, please.

But, dad, all of our dreams...

what if we gave half the jar to Al

and took the other half for ourselves?

But it's all his...

...and you want us to give him just

half of his own money?

No no.

I wouldn't feel right about asking

him to do that.

Well then, let's go give the treasure

back to Al.

Now?!

Hmmm, no!

There's no time like the present, Hasan.

But mommy, what about my zoo...

...and all of the birds and animals?

Just a minute.

Uh maybe we should wait till tomorrow.

You never know.

Maybe we'll find something else.

It's possible okay,
