to be good farmers. So he called them to him and said,'My boys, before I die I want you to know that there is a great treasure buried in the vineyard. Promise me that you will look for it when I am dead.

The sons promised and they began looking for the treasure. They worked very hard in the hos sun. In their minds they pictured boxes of gold coins, diamond necklaces and other such things. But they found not a single penny. They were very upset. But then the grapes started to appear no the vines and their grapes were the biggest and best in the neighborhood, and they sold them for a lot of money. Now they understood and they lived happily and wealthily ever after.
