Heisig story:

Every house has its treasure, as every thief knows only too well. While the things we treasure most are usually of sentimental value, we take the original sense of the term treasure here and make it refer to jewels kept in one's house.

Koohii stories:

1) [rtkrtk] 7-11-2007(99): On treasure island is a single house - where all the jewels are stored.

2) [NooNoo] 23-4-2008(84): Put a "roof" (lid) on your jewels and voila! You've got a treasure chest.

3) [szreter] 30-3-2008(50): I have treasure: jewels which I hide in my house.

4) [noushina] 14-1-2007(21): If Wealth and Savings aren't confusing enough, we now add Treasure. They all have House. Savings account had a nail and a shell. While Wealthy had the Wealth primitive in it. In this case, our Treasure is a HOUSE full of JEWELS.
