ExclusiveTreasure in Sam's Field - Part 2

Grandpa, what happened to Sam lying by the tree stump waiting for the hares? No hares ever dashed to the stump to offer themselves again. But he was determined to continue waiting. Oh no, what a bad idea! Did Paul ever go tell him that? No, Paul did something else. Here is the story. It was morning again. Paul passes Sam's field as usual. Good morning, Sam. Good morning, Paul. You know what? Yesterday, when I was working in the field, I overheard two strangers, foreigners, passing by, whispering to each other about treasure, gold, or something buried under your field. Gold? There's gold under my field? Oh my goodness, I'll be rich! Rich? Where? Did they say where the gold was buried? They didn't say, but I guess you could always dig the field and look for it. You're already waiting for the hares anyway. Great idea, Paul. I'll get some tools from home and start right away. Sam started to dig his land enthusiastically. He worked from morning to sunset every day. Sam worked very hard. In fact, a few days later, his entire field was completely dug up. But he didn't find any gold. None at all. Good morning, Sam. Good morning, Paul. I've dug every inch of the earth and found no gold. Hmm, that's strange. Maybe those foreigners were wrong. But hey, since you've already dug up your field, might as well plant some seeds. Hmm, I guess you're right. I'll get started. I will help you. Let's do it together. Paul helped Sam to plant all kinds of seeds into the soil. Veggies, melons, squash, corn. As spring turned to summer to autumn, Paul taught Sam how to care for his fields as the seeds became buds, grow in the summer, and ready for harvest in the fall. Sam collected a rich harvest from his field from summer to the fall. He sold his fresh harvests at very good prices at the market fairs and collected a small fortune. So this is the end of our story. How do you like the way Paul handled the situation? I love it, Grandpa. How nice to have a friend like that. Would you agree that Sam did indeed find treasure in his land? Hmm, you got me thinking. Yes, in a way, I think Sam did find treasure in his land. Indeed, the surest way.
