The Hidden Treasure
A peasant had several sons. But they were all lazy and did not help him in the farm. One day the peasant became ill. He knew he was dying. So he called all his sons together and said to them: “A treasure lies hidden in my fields. But to find it you shall have to dig hard for it.”
The peasant died. At once his sons went to the fields, and dug every bit of die land, but they found no treasure.
They were very sad. Soon the rains fell and, as the earth has been well dug; they sowed the corn. There was a very fine crop that year. The sons now learnt what their father meant by treasure. The treasure could be got only by hard work.
