As he prepares to pay for his treasures, strangers enter the store, each having a special need, and the young man gives of what he found for his family to help those needy people. In the end, through his giving he finds a much larger treasure that finds a place in his heart and would bring him more deeply into a life lived well.

Kevin Finson is a retired professor of science education. He taught 34 years at the college level, two at the high school level, and five at the middle school level. He is an earth scientist by training, but also has taught physical, life, and other sciences (as well as teaching on instructional theory and program evaluation). He is a vocal proponent of inquiry learning and teaching. Kevin has a sense of humor and really likes puns and shaggy dog stories. When at the university, he hosted an annual holiday party featuring a shaggy dog story contest. Since his retirement, he started to write children's books for his grandchildren. During his working career, Kevin was heavily involved in service to professional science education associations and maintained a consistent publication record that included the publication of eight books, some chapters and monographs, and a host of refereed (peer-reviewed) journal articles. Most of his professional academic publication focus has been on science for students with disabilities and on students' perceptions about scientists and visual data.
