    He dreamt of hidden treasure the second and third night. So after the third night's dream he set to work the following morning without even to wait for to eat his breakfast. He worked all day long, and continued this work for a week. Then he had all the trees in orchard dug up and no treasure was found. Then all the began to mock and jeer poor farmer and he did not know what to do. After that he awoke one morning very early and he left the district, and they never saw him any more.
