The Farmer and His Sons

There was once an old, dying farmer who had worked hard in his vineyard (b/b) all his life. Before he died he wanted to teach his three sons how to be good farmers. So he called them to him and said: “My boys, before I die I want you to know that there is a great treasure buried in the vineyard. Promise me that you will look for it when I am dead”.

The sons promised and as soon as their father had died they began looking for the treasure. They worked very hard in the hot sun and all the time as they were working they wondered what their father had left for them. In their minds they pictured boxes of gold coins, diamond necklaces and other such things. Soon they had dug up every inch of the vineyard. But they found not a single penny. They were very upset. They felt that all their hard work had been for nothing.

But then the grapes started to appear on the vines and their grapes were the biggest and best in the neighborhood and they sold them for a lot of money.

Now they understood what their father had meant by the great treasure and they lived happily and wealthily ever after.
