The Jar: A Tale from the East Page #3

---

finish your work on the wall...

...and we'll take it back to Al first

thing in the morning.

What a numskull!

I can't believe it! I can't believe it!

I can't believe he's gonna give all

that amazing treasure to Al!

He doesn't even know if it's his!

He's totally a crazy man,

he's gone loopy loopy loopy.

But that's okay for me,

because it'll all soon be mine, all mine.

Gold, jewels,

it's all giving me

a terrible headache.

The moon, the moon and the stars

used to amaze me as a kid.

I thought they were jewels

of the sky.

They were there

for everyone's enjoyment.

But these,

they belong to someone.

I suppose that jar

could've been burried...

...there hundreds of years ago...

Is that possible?

Sure it's possible.

In that case it belongs to

whoever finds it.

Which means it's ours!

The treasure belongs to me!

The fools can debate about right

or wrong all they want.

Amine is a fool, he just doesn't get it.

He has the jar, and he wants to forget it.

Well I have a plan, It'll work just fine.

I'm gonna steal the jar,

and make it mine.

I'm gonna steal the jar,

cause I have a plan.

I'm gonna steal the jar,

from that silly old man.

I'm gonna steal the jar,

that's what I'm gonna do.

Today better be quiet.

How will I fool them? Yes. Mmmm, mum.

I need a smart idea,

but what!

No,

I won't allow myself to think that

it's ours yet.

If we found it in a deserted valley...

...or in an empty well in the desert,

or at the top of a mighty mountain,

would it be ours then?

Someone still had to put it there.

No! It can't be ours.

I have to return it to the rightful

owner and that's final.

I wish I knew where this gold came from.

How something so beautiful on one hand...

...could cause such ugliness on the other.

But 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, okay?

Ohhhh! There's gotta be a solution

to this. A right one.

The first step is to take the jar to Al.

I wonder, I wonder.

How am I gonna get that blasted jar

away from them?

I can just imagine how it would feel to run

some luxurious pearls through my fingers.

Oh, and gold pieces too.

Awwww!

Waaaa!

Oh, it's just you.

Your hands are cold.

What were you talking about, ha?

Nothing. Not a thing.

Sleep. I was just thinking how beautiful

you are when you're asleep.

I look at you and I think of jewels.

I could stare at you all day.

Did I hear right?

Could all this sweet talk be coming

from you?

I was having a sweet and beautiful

dream about food.

I was drinking some lemonade.

Then I was swimming in it...
