THE FARMER AND HIS LAZY SONS

 

 

In Madhanpur lived a very hardworking farmer named Gopal. He had three sons Ram, Laxman and Hanuman.  All three were strong  and healthy. But they were all lazy.

Gopal was sad thinking about his sons and the future of his farmland.

One day, Gopal got a flash of an idea. He called all his sons and said, “Ram! Laxman! And Hanuman! I have hidden a treasure in our farmland. You search and share the treasure among you”.

The three sons were overjoyed. They went to the fields and started searched. Ram! Laxman! and Hanuman! I have hidden a treasure in our farmland. You search and share the treasure among you”.

The three sons were overjoyed. They went to the fields and started searched. Ram started from one end, Laxman from the other end and Hanuman from the centre. They turned each and every nook of the field. But they could not find anything.

Gopal said to his sons, “Dear boys! Now that you have tooled and conditioned the field,, why not we sow a crop!” Off went the sons to sow the crops.

Days passed. Soon, the crops grew lushy green. The sons were delighted. The father said, “Sons, this is the real treasure I wanted you to share”.
