Even though Randy is much loved at home, he has a serious problem—everything he has is old! His rich neighbor Mike, who often teases him, has a new bike, new toys, and never does chores.

Though Randy is often reminded that “things don’t bring happiness,” he desperately wishes he could be rich so he could buy everything new.
