The Hidden Treasure
There lived an old farmer with his three sons in a village.
The father asked his sons to work in the field along with him. But the young fellows were lazy. They did not want to work in the sun and the rains in the field like their father.
One day the farmer fell sick. He was about to die. So he called his sons, and told them, "Sons, before I die, I want to tell you some secret. Under the ground in our field, there are some hidden treasures. If you dig the land properly, you will surely find them."
So saying, the old farmer died.
The boys performed the funeral rites of their father. Then, one day all the three brothers went to the field and began to dig the land thoroughly from one end to the other in order to find the hidden treasures. But they did not find anything. They were disheartened.
Now the eldest brother told the other two to sow seeds in the land, as the land had already been ploughed thoroughly. And they did so.
After a few months, they found good crops in their field. They reaped the harvest, and made large profit by selling them.
Now the eldest brother told his two brothers, "Brothers, I've understood what our father had meant by the 'hidden treasures'. The hidden treasures are the good crops that we found, only by digging the land properly and sowing the seeds there."
