User:Annielogue/The farmer and his sons)

The farmer and his sons is one of the Aesop's fables which do not feature animals. It number 42 in the Perry Index. In its simplest form it goes like this:

A farmer who was about to die, wishing to accustom his sons to agriculture, called them and told them that he had buried a treasure in one of his vineyards. They bagan to dig and did not find any treasure, but the well-dug vineyard bore much more fruit.^[1]
