So the two of them spent the rest of that morning collecting the tiniest things they could find. Collin collected a crumb, a pea, a shell and a petal. Soon he had found a feather, a peanut, a button and a berry. Sylvia brought back a drawing pin, a paper clip, a pen nib, a pin and a needle. Look! Youre almost a giant Collin! said Sylvia.

He then gave the first captain acoconut, and the second captain a bunch of ripe bananas. But when he gave thebananas to the second captain, he secretly took a very valuable ring off his finger anspushed it into one of the bananas.While two captains were walking home, the second captain told the first thathis wife did not like bananas, ask asked him whether he was willing to give him thecoconut and take the bananas. The first captain knew that his own wife did not like bananas, but as he was anunselfish man, he said that he would give the bananas to the first captain.That evening, the first captain began to eat the bananas and found the ring inthem. At once, he hurried to the king with it. When the king saw it and heard whathad happened, he sent for the second captain and said to him, I wanted to give youthe ring because you said that I was kind and generous, but it seems that your friend really is a lucky man, as he said!
