Once, landing on the Planet of Zadril, Will learns that the Princess, her mother, Queen Irdzla of Zadril and Little Brother who live in the city of Epahs. Epahs is a place where people will not work, they have become lazy; they do nothing to help themselves and the children don’t go to school. The schools and shops have been closed for a very, very long time and nothing happen in Epahs!

Because many generations of people have not been to school, they have no education; they don’t look forward to anything. However, Queen Irdzla and little Princess Eex want the schools and shops to re-open and Princess Eex and her mother are determined to make changes within the city.

The story entwines: ethics, morality and leads the child to understand how a positive approach to how money is used, in most communities, to buy the things we need and how money can be used for the good of all.
