A FARMER being about to die, and knowing that during his illness

　　his Sons had permitted the vineyard to become overgrown with weeds

　　while they improved the shining hour by gambling1 with the doctor,

　　said to them:

　　"My boys, there is a great treasure buried in the vineyard. You

　　dig in the ground until you find it."

　　So the Sons dug up all the weeds, and all the vines too, and even

　　neglected to bury the old man.
