A farmer had three sons. They spent their time idly. They were as idle as their father was active; the laziness of the so ns was a cause of anxiety to the father.
One day when the farmer was on his death-bed, he called his Sons all round him and said, “My sons, I have an important secret to tell you. A great treasure lies hidden in yonder field.’“Where is it hid, father?“ exclaimed the sons. “You will have to dig for it,” said the dying father. But before he could disclose the full secret, his breath failed him and lie died.
After the farmer’s death, the sons set to work upon the fallow field. They turned up the soil of the entire field with hard labour. They found no treasure, but learnt to work.
The seeds were sown in the well-cultivated field. So it yielded a rich harvest. Then the sons could realise what their vise father had meant by the hidden treasure.
