This is a folk tale about an old father who told a white lie before his death in order to make his three lazy sons industrious and rich, and changed the lives of his three sons!
The three sons were strong and strong, but they were lazy, and they could not afford to work three poles a day, sleeping on a hot kang in winter and enjoying the shade in summer. The old man was alone, plowing the family's fields, planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, day after day, as time passed, the old man gradually became physically exhausted, and struggled to maintain the life of the family.
The old man tried all kinds of ways to encourage the children to work, but the habit of laziness has been formed since childhood, and the three children push me, I push you, and no one refuses to work in the field, and the old man is very helpless.
The old man was sad day and night, and he was tired of hard work, and finally fell ill, and the three brothers panicked and called in a doctor for treatment, but after the doctor diagnosed, frowned, prescribed a prescription, and left.
The old man took a few pairs of medicines but did not improve, and before he died, he called his sons to his side and instructed with difficulty: Alas, I am about to leave you, and in our field, bury a few jars of silver handed down from our ancestors, and you three brothers go and dig them......After saying that, he closed his eyes and left.
The three brothers wept beside their father, and after burying their father, the three brothers began to study the matter of digging up silver. The family had land in the east, west, north, south, and mountains, and the father did not say where the silver was buried, which also made it difficult for the three brothers.
The second child said: "Everyone goes to dig a piece of land, and whoever digs it out will be 3131 points." The third said: "It's still three people digging in a field together, and there is a company to say, so you don't have to be lonely." ”
The three of them decided to act together, and the next morning, they took their shovels and hoes and went to the fields under the mountains to the east and began to dig.
When the neighbor's mother-in-law saw the three of them going down to the field, she asked strangely, "Are you going to work in the field?" The boss waved his hand and said, "No, we're going to dig up silver." ”
The three of them dug very hard, and immediately went to the south to dig under the south mountain after digging under the east mountain, and then went to the west to dig ...... after digging under the south mountain
I dug for more than 70 days, digging more than two feet deep in each field, and still did not dig a single piece of silver.
The three brothers were a little discouraged, and the eldest said with an unhappy face: "Don't dig anymore, it's useless to dig." The second child was not very reconciled, and said: "We have already scored six or seven points out of ten strengths, and now we don't dig how wronged we are, no matter what, we must dig up every piece of land." ”
Thinking of the silver in vain, in fact, the eldest and the third did not give up, and as soon as the second child said this, the two of them also made up their minds to dig up the remaining ground under the mountain in the north together.
To the north of the mountain in the field, the three of them dug deeper, more than ten days passed, all the land was dug and still no silver was found, the three of them became disheartened, the eldest and the third complained a few words, and the second did not speak.
Unconsciously, winter turned to spring, the villagers and neighbors all went to the field to plant crops, the three brothers were cold and starving, the father died, and he couldn't dig up the silver, so he had no choice but to work in the field.
As soon as I went out, I met my neighbor's mother-in-law, who greeted her, "Do you still want to dig up silver?" The three brothers bowed their heads in disgrace, and without saying a word, they slipped straight into the ground.
Because last autumn, the three brothers turned the land very deep, and now the land is loose and soft, and it is much easier to cultivate, and the three of them sow so-so, and some of the people who work nearby say that their father is dead, and the lazy man is also diligent, and some say that this is what it looks like to work, and they are afraid that they are digging for silver.
After some time, the three brothers came to the field, and the crops did not grow sloppily at all, and the seedlings in each field were strong and lush, which was very gratifying, and the three brothers were also very happy.
After a while, the crops grew better and better, and the three brothers gradually got used to the days of farming, and as soon as the morning dawned, they carried their hoes to hoe grass in the fields to get rid of their lazy temper.
When the autumn harvest came, the buds and sorghum in the field were very full, the beans were also tall, and the ears of wheat were as big as dogs' tails.
When harvesting, they are full of strength, and they carry the harvested grain to the field one by one, and the grain is piled up in large quantities and full of small crooked ones, attracting the neighbors in the village to come to see it and praise their diligence.
On this day, the three brothers were having breakfast, and suddenly the third brother raised the bud rice bun in his hand and said loudly: "Ah, I remember, we have dug up the silver that my father buried in the ground!" ”
The eldest and second opened their mouths in surprise, staring, and looked inexplicable.
The third child shook the bun in his hand and said: "Diligence is silver, deep ploughing, hoeing grass." ”
The eldest and second child also suddenly realized: "Ah, yes, the silver that Dad told us to dig is hard work!" ”
Since then, the three brothers have become more industrious, and their lives have gotten better year by year!
A very simple and clear little story, **combined, entertaining and educational, I always can't see enough when I was a child!
