Hunting for buried treasure, Mole unearths a twig. It's not much use to him, but a bird flying by wants it for a nest. When he discovers a shell, Mole gives it to Snail for a cozy home. Happy to share, Mole keeps digging, and uncovers--another hole, with another little mole in it. A new friend--what a treasure indeed.
