Once the old man had died, the sons ran out to the field and
started digging with wild abandon. They dug for many hours and
continued for many days. No part of the field was left untilled as
they put every ounce of their youthful energy into this task. But,
alas, no treasure could be found. Eventually, they gave up, cursing
their father for his apparent deception and wondering why he
would choose to make such fools of them. However, the following
fall, that same field yielded a harvest the likes of which the entire
community had never seen before. The three sons quickly became
rich. And they never worried about money again.
So, from my father, I learned the power of dedication, dili-
gence and hard work. In my college days, I toiled day and night,
eager to stay on the Dean’s List and to fulfill the dreams my dad
had set for me. I won scholarship after scholarship and diligently
sent my aging father a small check at the end of every month, a
portion of the salary I received from the part-time job that I held.
