A FATHER

A FATHER, being on the point of death, wished to be sure that hissons would give the same attention to his farm as he himself hadgiven it. He called them to his bedside and said, "My sons,there is a great treasure hid in one of my vineyards." The sons,after his death, took their spades and mattocks and carefully dugover every portion of their land. They found no treasure, butthe vines repaid their labor by an extraordinary andsuperabundant crop.
