A farmer was going to die(死亡)。 He wished(希望) to show his sons the best way of farming. So he called his sons to him, and said to them, “My children, I am going to die. I leave something for you. They are in the yard(院子).
The sons thought perhaps there was some treasure(宝藏) in the yard. So as soon as the old man died, they began to work with their spades and ploughs(铁锹和耕犁). They turned up the soil(翻土) over and over again, but they didn’t find any treasure.
