The two twins, Jacek and Placek, start out as cruel and lazy boys whose main interest is eating -- eating anything, including chalk and sponge in school. One day they have the idea of stealing the moon -- after all, it is made of gold.
- "If we steal the moon, we would not have to work"
- "But we are not working now, either..."
- "But then we would not have to work at all".
After small adventures they manage to steal the moon. Immediately a gang of robbers notices them and captures them. They regain their freedom, one of the twins devises a plan how to enter the "City of Gold". The plan works, but when the robbers try to collect the gold, they turn into gold themselves. The twins escape, run home and promise to help their parents with their work as farmers.
