The Laziest Sons

Once there was an old farmer who had three sons. All the three were very lazy and spent their time doing nothing. Several times the father advised to do some work in his own field. But they ignored and never heeded to his advice. After some time the farmer fell sick due to some extreme hard work and was soon on his deathbed. He called all his sons around him and told them that he had buried all his treasure in the field. Within a few days the farmer breathed his last. Since the sons had no money of their own they decided to dig the field to find the treasure.

Each son took a part of the fie

ld and started to turn up the soil. In the process they dug up the entire field but they did not find any treasure. They feel felt miserable and dejected. However one of the sons said that since they had dug up the entire field, they might as well sow some seeds. Others agreed to his suggestion. They got a good harvest. Encouraged by the good harvest they received, they repeated the process and reaped good harvest every year thereafter. Within a few month they became rich and prosperous. Then only did they understand the real meaning of their Father's hidden treasure in the field.
