The Old Farmer and his Lazy Sons

Once there was an old farmer who was very hard working throughout his life. He had a rich field which gave him a fine yield of grapes every year. Unluckily his sons were very lazy and easy-going. So, the farmer was much worried about their future.

One day the farmer called his sons and said, "Dear sons! My days are numbered. Before my death I want to tell you about the hidden treasure in our field. Dig it out after my death". The farmer died after a few days.

After performing the last rites of their father, the sons began to dig their field. They dug every inch of it but they could not found anything. So the sons sowed some seeds in their field.

A few weeks later, there was good rain. Soon the field was filled with rich crop of grapes as had never been there before even in their father's life-time. Now the lazy sons understood what their father meant as the hidden treasure.

From that day, they worked hard and earned their own livelihood. They had learnt that hard-work is the key to a gold mine.

Moral : Hardwork has it's reward surely.
