(2) K-3 Ping longs to have "money, power, fame, and everything life can offer." Sleeping on a magic pillow, his dream reveals: "Fame lasted no longer than a bubble in a stream." Demi encloses each meticulous illustration in a gold circle set upon a plain cloth background. Her author's note adds historical details about the short story on which the tale is based.
