When the farmer was 3and felt that he would die, he 4the three sons to him and said, “My sons, there is a pot of gold 5 in the olive orchard. Dig for it, if you wish it.”
The sons tried to 6him to tell them in what part of the orchard the 7was hidden, but he would tell them nothing more.
After the farmer was 8, the sons went to work to find the pot of gold; since they did not 9where the hiding-place was, they agreed to begin in a line, at one 10of the orchard, and to dig until one of them should find the money.
They 11until they had turned up the 12from one end of the orchard to the other, 13the tree-roots and between them. 14no pot of gold was to be found. It seemed as if someone must have stolen it, or as if the farmer had been wandering in his wits. The three sons were bitterly 15to have all their work for nothing.
