    digging and digging until they had dug up every morsel of earth except one small field. When they were at the end of the small field they thought that there was no treasure there.
    Just then one of them saw a case and when they opened it, they found nothing inside in it was a letter and on the letter was written:-
    "As you have gone to the trouble of digging the land sow seeds now."
    That was the famous treasure they got after all their hard work.
