农夫与他的儿子们

   A FATHER, being on the point of death, wished to be sure that his sons would give the same attention to his farm as he himself had given 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 dug over every portion of their land. They found no treasure,     but the vines repaid their labor by an extraordinary and superabundant crop.

　 有个农夫快要辞别人世时，想要把自己耕作经验传给儿子，便叫他们来说：「孩子们，我即将离开这个世界了，你们都去寻找我埋藏在葡萄园里的东西，把它们统统都找出来吧！」儿子们以为那里埋藏了金银财宝。父亲去世之后，他们把那葡萄园的地全都翻了一遍， 甚么宝物都没找到，却使葡萄园的地很好地耕作了一番，所以这年比以往结了更多的葡萄。

　　这个故事带出的启示就是：劳动是最好的宝物。
