🔊 A Farmer, being at death's door, and desiring to impart to his Sons a secret of much moment, called them round him and said, "My sons, I am shortly about to die; I would have you know, therefore, that in my vineyard there lies a hidden treasure. Dig, and you will find it." As soon as their father was dead, the Sons took spade and fork and turned up the soil of the vineyard over and over again, in their search for the treasure which they supposed to lie buried there. They found none, however: but the vines, after so thorough a digging, produced a crop such as had never before been seen.

一位农夫生命垂危,想把一个重要的秘密告诉儿子们,就把他们叫到身边,说:“孩子们,我快不行了。你们要知道,我的葡萄园里埋着宝藏。去挖吧,你们准能找到。”父亲刚一去世,儿子们就拿上铁锹和耙子,把葡萄园里的土翻了一遍又一遍,一心想找出他们以为埋在那里的财宝。然而,他们什么也没找到。但是,经过这番彻底的翻掘,葡萄藤结出的果实,竟是前所未见的丰硕。
