    THE HIDDEN TREASURE

    Once, there was an old man who had four sons. All four of them were very lazy.

    One day, the old man fell sick and was counting his last days in bed. He worried a lot about
    his sons’ future as the young men hesitated a lot to work. The sons believed that luck
    would favour them.

    The old man’s health deteriorated every day and he decided to talk to his sons about their
    future. However, his sons did not listen to him.

    Finally, the old man decided to play a trick to let his sons realize the importance of work.
    He called all his sons and let them sit near him on his bed. He said that he had a treasure
    box with gold coins and expensive gems for them and wanted to share the treasure equally
    among the four of them.

    The young men were very happy and asked where his father had placed the treasure. The
    old man replied, “I cannot exactly remember the place where I have hidden the treasure.
    However, the treasure box is buried in our land. I’m really not sure about the place where
    I have hidden the treasure box.”

    Even though the lazy young sons were happy, they were sad that the old man had forgotten
    the place where the treasure was hidden. After a few days, the old man died. The sons
    decided to dig the land to find the treasure box.

    They worked very hard and dug their land. They could not find any treasure box in the
    land. Finally, they decided to dig a spot in their land that was a bit different from the rest
    of the area. The sons believed that the treasure was buried in that spot. They dug the
    specific spot deeply, but got nothing but water.
    A passerby who noticed the land and the water flowing from the spot talked to the sons
    about farming. Upon his advice, the four sons sowed vegetable seeds, and planted greens
    and flowering plants in their land. Since the land was very fertile with abundant water,
    within a few weeks, it became a fertile garden with nutritious vegetables and greens. The
    four sons sold the vegetables at a good price and earned a good amount of money.

    Then they realized that it was hard work that was referred to as ‘Treasure Box’ by their
    father. Gradually, the four sons overcame their laziness, worked hard, earned more money
    and lived happily.
    THE MONKEY AND THE DOLPHIN
    One day long ago, some sailors set out to sea in their sailing ship. One of them brought his
    pet monkey along for the long journey.

    When they were far out at sea, a terrible storm overturned their ship. Everyone fell into
    the sea, and the monkey was sure that he would drown. Suddenly a dolphin appeared and
    picked him up.

    They soon reached the island and the monkey came down from the dolphin’s back. The
    dolphin asked the monkey, “Do you know this place?”

    The monkey replied, “Yes, I do. In fact, the king of the island is my best friend. Do you
    know that I am actually a prince?”

    Knowing that no one lived on the island, the dolphin said, “Well, well, so you are a prince!
    Now you can be a king!” The monkey asked, “How can I be a king?”

    As the dolphin started swimming away, he answered, “That is easy. As you are the only
    creature on this island, you will naturally be the king!”
