The Tree Beetle and the Skeleton Treasure
In a strange dig under a tree, Legrand and two others pursue a supposed gold beetle linked to fortune. Jupiter, a slave, acts under promises of reward as a skull, nails, and a beetle string guide the eerie search. The dog’s howling reveals human bones and skeletal remains, shifting the tale from treasure hunt to morbid discovery.
