Intro
Folge2485-2
Scene Nils tells Pferd that treasure wasn't somethng you could eat; it was gold and silver. Pferd is sure that there were treasures that you could eat, and he starts to tell a story.

Four pirates are on a small ship: captain Rumpel by the helm, pirate Finchen at the lookout post, pirate Nils scrubbing the deck and pirate Pferd as the cook. They are currently stranded out on the sea with no wind in the sails. Pferd is fishing, hoping to catch some carrots, since they have run out of food, but instead he catches a bottle containing a treasure map. Shortly afterwards, the wind returns and they quickly set sail towards the island on the map.

Folge2485-4
Scene They arrive at a cave with a skeleton of a former pirate outside. However, pirate Nils' courage is failing him; he is scared to go inside, but when Finchen asks him if he wants to uncover a treasure and be rich or if he would rather clean the deck for the rest of his life, he enters the cave. Nils bumps into something in the dark. It turns out to be the treasure chest, and they quickly hurry back to the ship.
Folge2485-5
Scene Pirate Nils is convinced that the chest contains a lot of gold and jewels since it was very heavy to carry. Captain Rumpel cracks the lock open with a coconut, explaining that it's an old pirate trick. They open the chest and discover that it's full of carrots. Nils and Finchen are disappointed, but Pferd is very pleased with the treasure, and Captain Rumpel orders Nils back on the ship to scrub the deck.
