The Hidden Treasure

An old farmer had three sons. They were very lazy. The farmer always advised them to work hard. But they never take it seriously.  One day the farmer was at the point of death. He called his sons to him. He said to them, "There is a big treasure in my field. Dig it out after my death."  Soon after this, the farmer died.  After some days the sons went to the field. They dug the entire field.  But they could find no treasure.  They felt very sad. An old man advised them to sow seeds in the field. The sons did so.  They had a good crop. Really our hard work is our treasure.

Moral: We can have no gains without pains.

गुप्तधन

एका म्हाताऱ्या शेतकऱ्याला तीन मुले होती. ती खूप आळशी होती. तो शेतकरी त्यांना नेहमी कष्ट करण्याचा सल्ला देत असे. परंतू  ते त्याचा  सल्ला  गांभीर्याने घेत नसत. एके दिवशी शेतकरी शेवटच्या घटका मोजत होता.  तेव्हा त्याने आपल्या मुलांना बोलावून घेतले. तो त्यांना म्हणाला, “ माझ्या शेतात खूप मोठे धन आहे. माझ्या मृत्यू पश्चात तुम्ही ते खणून बाहेर काढा. एव्हढे बोलून शेतकरी मरण पावला. काही दिवसांनी ती मुले शेतात गेली. त्यांनी सर्व शेत खणून काढले. परंतु त्यांना काहीच हाती लागले नाही. ते खूप दु:खी झाले.एका म्हाताऱ्याने त्यांना त्या खणलेल्या शेतात बी पेरण्याचा सल्ला दिला . त्यांनी त्याप्रमाणे केले. त्यात चांगले पिक आले. खरच आपले परिश्रम हीच आपली संपत्ती.

तात्पर्य: कष्टाशिवाय फळ मिळत नाही.
