ANSWER –
The Hidden Treasure
Once there was an old farmer who had three idle sons. They were lazy and never helped their father in farming. The farmer was worried about their future.
One day, the farmer fell seriously ill. He called his sons and said, “There is a hidden treasure buried in our field. Dig the field after I am gone, and you will find it.” Soon after, the farmer passed away.
Eager to find the treasure, the sons dug the entire field, but they found nothing. Disappointed, they decided not to waste their effort and sowed seeds in the ploughed field.
After some time, the field yielded a rich crop. The sons realized their father’s message—hard work is the real treasure. From that day, they never remained idle and worked together to make their farm successful.
Moral: Hard work always brings rewards.
