The Treasure

         One father had three children. These three were lazy people who did not like to work hard since childhood. The father also grew old. The father, realizing the nature of the children, called his three children to shape their future and advised them to bury all the money he had saved so far in the home garden and to share it equally after his death.

         Shortly afterwards, his father died. The three children, who were greedily searching for it, began to plow the garden. The whole estate was so greedy that not a single object was found. They had so far eagerly plowed the whole garden and thought of cultivating crops with the intention of taking advantage of it. They sold their produce and shared it equally. After earning a large sum of money, they realized that they had found the treasure they had before Dad died.
