A farmer had four sons. They remained idle and did not help their father in his work. The farmer advised them several times to work hard, but they turned a deaf ear to his advice.
One day the farmer fell seriously ill. He thought that his end was near. So he called his sons and told them that there lay a treasure hidden in his field. But he could not tell the exact place where it was. They must dig the field and find it. Having said this, the farmer died. After the funeral rites, the sons went to the field. They dug up every nook and corner of it, but found no treasure anywhere. They cursed their father. They sowed the field with wheat. They had a very rich crop that year. They sold it and got a lot of money. They now realised that their father had spoken the truth. They began to work hard and were never idle again.
