Mai sazio

A child receives a piggy bank to fill with his savings. Cared for with affection and tenderness, the piggy bank grows out of proportion, transforming into an obese creature, overflowing with profits and unable to satisfy its own hunger. The years pass, and the piggy bank's size never stops increasing... until one day... A book for adults and children alike, to observe how money can grow... and devour.
