The Gold Coin

Alma Flor Ada
Juan has been a thief for many years. So when he peeks through a crack in Dona Josefa's door and sees a gold coin in her hand, he immediately decides to steal her treasure. Stealing it, however, is not as easy as Juan had thought, and soon he is traveling around the countryside, trying to catch up with the old woman and her gold. But as this original tale with a Central American setting shows, there are other, human kinds of treasure waiting to be discovered.
