Labor Pays


A hard working farmer caught the fatal black plauge, and he wished somehow the family would prosper. He had two sons who were lazy, but he was afraid that they would be careless at tending the land. He called his sons to his bedside and exclaimed “there is a treasure in the field”. When the farmer died the two sons burried him and went out with their tools and dug everywhere in the field. They were frustrated because they couldn't find any treasure. Because of their thorough plowing their crop was extordanarily abundant and they could live comfortably. Then they realized that the treasure was the fruits of their labors.
