In a beautiful, peaceful jungle, all of the animals get along. They spend long, lazy days enjoying each other and their glorious home. They rest in the warm, soft sun or swim in the cool, refreshing water. Then, suddenly, something unusual happens.

One day, some birds flying high above the jungle spot a glistening pot of gold at the end of a rainbow and immediately tell all of the other jungle animals about it. But soon, the beauty of their treasure brings out jealousy and greed, and the animals argue over who should own the gold. The only jungle creatures who stay quiet and make no claim to the treasure are the plain white fish swimming in the pond, deep in the jungle, at the gathering place where the animals meet. The fish don't think they are special enough to possess something as beautiful as the gold. Then, as all of the animals are arguing and proclaiming their own greatness, something magical happens that changes the fish forever and teaches their jungle friends a lesson in kindness and humility.

With beautiful illustrations and engaging text, this inspiring fable communicates a powerful message of how greed can ruin friendships and how kindness and humility are rewarded.
