A trio of nomad travelers, Taru, Haba, and their friend were traveling through a desert with their camel.  Suddenly Taru spots ruins ahead that he hopes is not a mirage.  Taru urges Dolores the camel forward to take a closer look and hopes to find some treasures.  His two friends ran ahead to explore the ruins.  They reach the ruins, that look to be at least a thousand years old.  As Taru sits down, his two friends peer into what they hope is a well to find water.  Taru leans against the back of a piece of a ruin and it starts to move.  The ground shakes.  Taru quickly leaps up as the wall continues to move, revealing an opening below it.  A crack in the desert appears.  Taru loses his balance and falls into the crack.  His friends hurry over to the crack in the desert.  They carefully peer down into the opening.  Haba calls out for Taru.  Taru is not hurt and he slowly gets up and notes the tomb he has fallen into.  Haba continues to call for his friend as Taru looks around the impressive tomb.  Taru calls out to his friends and tells them he has found a hidden tomb!  Bring down the torches my friend!  The torch is sent down and Taru lights up the scones along the wall.  Haba and the other friend manage to make it down into the tomb.  Holding a torch, Taru continues to look around the tomb in wonder.  He find gold coins in a bowl a statue is holding.  Taru starts to laugh.  His friend joins him, ignoring the coins and pointing to the crypt covered in spider webs.
