The Farmer And His Sons
A father, being on the point of death, wished to be sure that his
sons would give the same attention to his farm as he himself had given
it. He called them to his bedside and said, "My sons, there is a great
treasure hid in one of my vineyards." The sons, after his death, took
their spades and mattocks and carefully dug over every portion of
their land. They found no treasure, but the vines repaid their labor
by an extraordinary and superabundant crop.
