🪨 The Hidden Treasure – Not a real object, but a metaphor for the rewards of labor. It is the mystery that drives the sons to work together.
📖 Script
Narrator:
Long ago, a farmer lived with his three sons. The land was fertile, the air was pure, but the sons constantly argued and never worked in harmony.
👨🌾 Farmer: “Sons, I grow old. Soon I will leave this world, but before I go, listen to my last words carefully.”
Narrator:
The sons gathered, curious and silent for once.
👨🌾 Farmer: “There is a hidden treasure buried in our field. Dig deep and you will find it.”
Narrator:
The sons’ eyes lit up with excitement. After their father’s passing, they rushed to the fields, turning over every inch of soil.
🧑🌾 Son 1: “Dig here! I think I found something!”
👨🌾 Son 2: “No, over here—it’s deeper!”
👦 Son 3: “Let’s work together—we’ll find it faster!”
Narrator:
They dug and dug, sweating under the sun, working as they never had before. But they found no chest, no gold, no coins.
🧑🌾 Son 1: “There’s no treasure! Was it just a trick?”
Narrator:
But soon, something amazing happened. Crops began to sprout, more bountiful than ever. The field they had toiled in flourished.
👨🌾 Son 2: “Wait… this is the treasure.”
👦 Son 3: “Our father’s wisdom… he meant the value of hard work.”
Narrator:
From then on, the brothers worked together in peace, and their farm became the richest in the village—not with gold, but with unity and fruit.
