The clever farmer
Once upon a time ,a farmer lived in a remote village
He had two sons and they were worked with their father. His wife wanted to see the wedding of their sons, Because she was affected by a dangerous disease.
The two son's marriages were arranged immediately. Their sick mother died after her son's marriages, The Farmer was old and he gave the fields to his sons . His daughters -in -law treated him very badly .
He told his sons about the abuse by his daughters-in-law to his sons. But his sons heard only the words of their new wives The farmer wanted to teach them a moral lesson
He thought that the ill use was not continued to his sons lives
He went to the field and collected the castor seeds
And he put them in a tin and covered it with cloth. When his daughters -in- law passed his bed ,
He jolted the tin and made it the sound like coins. The daughters -in -law thought that the oldman had more money. They competed with each other and looked him well, Thus the farmer cheated them very cleverly, They only found out the technique after his death
