But he knew that his three sons despised轻视，看不起 the farm work, and were eager to make wealth, trough adventure. When the farmer was old, and felt that his time had come to die, he called the three sons to him and said, My sons, there is a pot of gold hidden in the olive orchard. Dig for it, if you wish it. The sons tried to get him to tell them in what part of the orchard the gold was hidden; but he would tell them nothing more.
