A resourceful boy who loves to make things meets an old woman near a stream. The old woman points out a problem fish are having: old sticks piled up in the river are not allowing the fish to get upstream to eat. But, she also tells the boy that the sticks are treasure and worth as much as gold. Though the woman disappears before the boy understands, he decided to help the fish anyway and clear the sticks. As he finishes, the boy discovers how those sticks are as valuable as gold.
The Bridge of the Golden Wood illustrates how there are opportunities around us, even for children, to make money and to help others. The book also includes ideas and examples of how kids can earn money if they are so inclined.
