Anak Petani
Dahulu kala, hiduplah seorang petani
miskin yang sakit dan dibantu oleh ketiga anaknya: Bill, Thomas, dan John.
Berada di ambang kematian, sang ayah mewariskan beberapa hal kepada mereka.
Bill mewarisi sapinya, Thomas mendapat alat bajak, dan John menerima bibit
tanaman nya. Segera setelah itu, ayah mereka meninggal. Bill dan Thomas
memutuskan untuk pergi keluar dari gubuk kecil mereka dan menjalani hidup
mereka sendiri. Ketika adik mereka meminta mereka untuk meminjamkan bajak dan
sapi, mereka menolak untuk membantu dan mengolok-oloknya. Kemudian mereka
menjual sapi dan bajak mereka dan menghabiskan uang tanpa memikirkan masa
depan. John kemudian tidak bisa membantu tetapi bekerja keras sendiri untuk
menumbuhkan benih tanpa bantuan dari saudara-saudaranya.
Tahun-tahun berlalu, john telah
mengumpulkan buah manis dari keringat dan kerja keras di masa lalu dan dengan
demikian ia menjadi seorang petani kaya. Suatu hari ketika ia membeli beberapa
buah-buahan di pasar, seseorang mencuri dompetnya. Saat ia berlari untuk
mendapatkan dompetnya kembali, pencuri itu menabrak pengemis dan terjatuh. John
kemudian menyadari bahwa pencuri dan pengemis itu adalah saudaranya sendiri.

menjadi begitu sombong dan egois. Setelah mendengarkan cerita
saudara-saudaranya, John mengajak saudara-saudaranya untuk hidup bersama dengan
dia. Ketiganya kemudian bekerja bersama-sama dan menjadi petani yang hebat dan
kaya.
