Once there lived a hard working farmer. Unfortunately all the sons of the farmer were very lazy and none of his sons realized the importance of hard work.
Years later the farmer was on his deathbed.
He got all his sons to come together and gave them an important message. "I have hidden a treasure in our vineyard. The treasure buried in the vineyard is enough to keep you happy for a long time. Find the treasure and divide it equally amongst you."
In those words the farmer breathed his last.
The next day the son's dug the vineyard completely. They would not stop until they got the treasure.
But no matter how much they tried, they could not find the treasure.
The vineyard being dug and with the proper rains gave rich yields.
The sons saw the yields of the vineyard and the riches it made them. Finally, they realized that this was the treasure that the father had left for them.
They understood that hard work is the best way to get rich and followed it for the rest of their lives.
