20. The old Farmer and His Three sons.

The old Farmer and His Three Sons

There was an old farmer who lived in a village. He was honest and hardworking. He had three sons. But they were just opposite to their father. They were very lazy. They could not do anything in their free time.

One day the old farmer thought of a plan to change their behavior. This is why he called them to him. Then he said to them that death was knocking at his door. Any time he could die. He told them to take seats beside him. Then he said to his three sons sitting beside his bed that he had earned a lot of money from his business. He has hidden all of his money in a chest underground in the middle of his farming land. After my death, you will have to find that hidden treasure out. The sons were listening to their father's speech attentively.

Some days later the old farmer died. After finishing all the obligations of their dead father the sons began to think about the speech. They went to the field and started digging the soil of their land. But they did not get the hidden treasure. Not getting treasure they plowed all of their lands. 

This year they have got two times of crops than the previous year. So, they were very happy. Though they did not get his father's hidden money, they did not get upset. For their hard labor, they got a lot of crops. They became very rich and they began to live their life happily.

At last, the sons of the late old farmer realized that the hidden treasure was not real, but the real treasure was our hard work. They also realized that in order to change our behavior he played that trick on us.
