Once upon a time, a wealthy villager hid a huge piece of gold in a nearby rice field to protect it from robbers(强盗).
Many years later, the wealthy man died and no one else knew about the gold. One day , a poor farmer began to plough(犁)the field. After ploughing for some time, his plough struck(碰、撞)the long forgotten treasure.
At first, he thought it must be a very hard tree root. However, when he went closer to look, he saw that it was a large piece of beautiful shining gold.
Waiting until midnight, the farmer started to take the gold home. He tried to lift the gold but it was too heavy. He tried to pull it out with ropes, but it was so huge that he could hardly move it. He became frustrated and thought how lucky he was to have found treasure, but unlucky too, as he could not move it. He even tried kicking the gold but it would not budge!
