The Farmer And His Sons
Aesop Fable: The Farmer And His Sons
A father, being on the point of death, wished to be sure
that his sons would give the same attention to his farm as
he himself had given it. He called them to his bedside and
said, "My sons, there is a great treasure hid in one of my
vineyards."
The sons, after his death, took their spades and mattocks
and carefully dug over every portion of their land.
They found no treasure, but the vines repaid their labor by
an extraordinary and superabundant crop.
