He mentions the treasure in answer to one son's request for money to live on until his return. When they do not find treasure on the first dig, they dig it over again deeper! The illustrations show the boys slimming down in the process. One comments at the end Now we know there are many ways to find a treasure. There is a tear in the lower part of the page containing the fable. $.15.
