THE MOST VALUABLE TREASURE
The people of this town were trying to exhibit the most valuable treasure. It was a tradition of its inhabitants, who were proud of this important event. They requested the collaboration of other townspeople who accepted the honor since it is a great recognition to have the most valuable treasure.
