Bad things can sometimes happen to good people, especially when it comes to things that we don't quite understand. In the first story, 2 boys wander off into the forest and stumble upon a group of Chinese Deity statues besides an abandoned shrine, in particular an inverted statue of the God of Wealth. Being good-natured, the boys set the statue upright and even put up an offering, only to later learn that the original deity had long gone.
