Lloyd has an unexpected windfall of crumbs and sets out to buy happiness, cleaning the newsstand out of comics, dining at the Pancake, and hiring his friends to carry his lovely crumbs around - however, he soon learns that crumbs can't buy true happiness.

Lloyd adopts a tardigrade as a pet in spite of his parents warning that they never live for long. Regardless of his efforts to keep Nutbum alive, Lloyd finds it apparently dead the next day - thankfully, Cornea knows exactly what to do!
