Wolfert Webber and the Garden of Hidden Gold
Wolfert Webber, driven by dreams of buried wealth after tales of Dutch pirates and Peter Stuyvesant, digs nightly in his garden seeking a fortune. Nightly diggings devastate his cabbages, strain his family, and gradually reveal that no treasure exists as winter’s approach exposes the folly of his wealth-seeking dream.
