TITLE: The Greedy Land Owner

Once there was a poor farmer. He would work on other people’s land. On day while he was cultivating he found a bag full of gold. The farmer had only ever seen silver coins in his life, and he was so astonished to find all that gold, that when he started walking home it was already dark. On his way home, the farmer thought about the problems that this sudden wealth could cause him.

First of all, everything found on the owner’s territory belonged to the owner. By law, the farmer had to hand the gold over to the owner. The farmer decided that it was much fairer for him to keep the treasure because he was very poor. Rather than giving it to the owner who already had a lot of money. He realized the risk he would run if anyone found out about his luck. He would never tell anyone, of course, but his wife had a reputation for talking too much and she would never keep a secret. Sooner or later he would end up in jail. He thought the problem over and over until he found a solution.

Before getting home he left the bag full of gold in a bush next to some pine trees and the day after, instead of going to work he spend the whole day with his wife. He tried a lot to contain his emotion but at one point he told the matter of his wife. His wife started crying in joy and pretty soon, the entire village had heard about the treasure. The farmer and his wife were called by the owner of the land. That man was powerful too. He gave pressure for handing over the bag of gold. Find no alternative the farmer and his wife handed the bag to the owner. The land owner was so greedy that he took the whole gold not giving anything to the farmer. Everybody in that locality thought that the land owner should at least give the farmer a portion from his bag of gold.
