Story teller

A farmer, who was stricken by rapidly spreading cancer, longed for his farm and family to prosper. His sons were very idle, and he realized they would be careless in tending the land. He told them “Because I am dying of cancer I must tell you, there is a wonderful treasure in one of our fields.” After their father’s death, the sons took their spades and dug over all the land, but they found no treasure. Because of their hard work they had an abundant crop, and they survived. Then they realized that the treasure their father had spoken of was the fruit of their own labor.
