A farmer in his dying moment called his sons to him.
"I am about to leave all of you forever," he mumbled infirmly. "But before I die, I must tell you that I have buried a lot of jewels and money somewhere in the vineyard.
You have to dig deep into it to find the treasure."
The sons' thoughts that their father had hinted at some treasure-trove and thus, after his death, they dug up the entire vineyard. But they were greatly disappointed at not finding any treasure.
However, the earth in the vineyard dug so finely yielded a very good crop of high-quality grapes and that was the treasure.
There is no substitute for hard work
