The author narrates the adventures of a child who is sent to a correctional facility for a crime he did not commit. In that place they are forced to dig holes in conditions that border on torture. Very soon our protagonist discovers that the director of the correctional facility is looking for a treasure. Providence means that in that place he can do a good deed that erases an inheritance of bad luck in his family, as well as finding the treasure, of course. The imagination, the good humor and the literary resources used by the author - he tells three stories at the same time - make the reading of the book very pleasant.
