Bad Times, The Treasure Jar Keeps You Fed
Just as his father was buried, his eldest uncle seized his house and grain, driving him and his ailing mother into a dilapidated earthen hut in the village. When pushed to desperation, a talking crow dropped half a steamed bun into the old pickled vegetable jar left by his father—the next day, the jar was completely full! Only then did he realize that this broken jar could replicate anything. Relying on it, he saved his mother, the village chief's daughter, and helped the fellow villagers. Just as life was getting better, his eldest uncle stole the jar to get rich, only for it to be snatched by wicked people who intercepted poverty-alleviation grain. At a birthday banquet, the villains greedily tried to replicate a puppy, causing the jar to crack, and stack after stack of criminal evidence spewed from its mouth. In the end, the treasure jar lost its magic, but with a pair of hands, he still lived a prosperous and vibrant life.

Kamakalawa lang inilibing ang kanyang ama, sinunggaban na ng kanyang tiyuhin ang bahay at rasyon nito, at itinaboy siya at ang kanyang inang may sakit sa isang sira-sirang kubo sa nayon. Nang walang-wala na siya, isang uwak na nagsasalita ang naglagay ng kalahating tinapay sa lumang sisidlan ng atsara na naiwan ng kanyang ama—kinabukasan, puno na ito! Doon niya napag-alamang kayang kopyahin ng basag na sisidlan na ito ang lahat ng bagay. Ginamit niya ito para iligtas ang kanyang ina, ang anak ng punong-bayan, at tulungan ang mga kabaryo. Nang gumaganda na ang buhay, ninakaw ng tiyuhin ang sisidlan para yumaman, at inagaw pa ito ng mga masasamang taong kumuha ng rasyon para sa kahirapan. Sa piging ng kaarawan, inimbento ng masamang tao na kopyahin ang isang tuta, kaya nagbitak ang sisidlan at bumuga ito ng sunod-sunod na patunay ng krimen. Sa huli, nawalan ng bisa ang sisidlan ng kayamanan, ngunit sa pamamagitan ng kanyang mga kamay, pinaganda pa rin niya ang kanyang buhay.
