of what awaits the sin of greed
"I'm not sure you should go in there. There's supposed to be a lot of booby traps..."
"Are you afraid of a couple of trip wires?"
"Yes."
"Well I'm not. Come on."
They entered what looked like just a hole in the ground, but the "dirt" wall at the end had a hidden door in it, as Sabrina's annoyingly ego-centric companion was quick to point out. They went through into what looked like a treasure chamber. Stacks of coins glittered on the floor, but Sabrina could tell at a glance they were all fake. Her companion, on the other hand, said gleefully, "See! I found the treasure! Didn't I tell you I would find it?" He started shoveling coins into his bag. Even though he claimed to know everything, he didn't even know that gold was heavier than wood.
Then he spotted the statue in the middle of the room. No trip wires. No spiders. "This is easy!" he announced. He seemed to like announcing.
"Too easy," Sabrina thought. But the statue was obviously real gold. Even the most inexperienced person ever could see that. Her companion had picked up on this. Sabrina could tell by the glint in his eyes. She had seen this glint before, and bad things usually followed. Her companion tried to pick up the statue and it fell, landing with a loud BANG! One second later, the entire floor caved in. There was a moment of silence after they landed. Then Sabrina's companion said, "...I got the statue."
