Three times a voice comes to Isaac in his dreams and tells him to go to the capital city and look for a treasure under the bridge by the royal palace. Feeling a little foolish perhaps, but determined to see for himself if the dream is true, Isaac sets out on his long journey. What he finds makes a surprising and heart-warming ending to this retelling of a well-known folk tale. In a few words, Cadelcott Medal winner Uri Shulevitz draws a man who is innocent enough to have faith in a dream, and wise enough to understand the greatest reward of all.

从前有一个人，他的名字叫艾萨克。他过着非常贫穷的生活，天天饿着肚子睡觉。夜里，他不断地做着一个梦，梦里有个声音对他说：“去首都吧，去皇宫旁的桥下面寻找宝藏吧。”于是，他开始了艰难的寻宝旅程。穿越森林、翻过高山，他几乎是倚靠着自己的双脚行走，终于抵达了皇宫，却发现——宝藏，原来一直就在自己身边。故事的发展出人意料，结局充满光明，意蕴深远。
