葡萄园里的珍宝。在山的南边，住着一个老农夫和他的三个儿子。这个老农夫有一大片的葡萄园，每年都会长许多紫红色,甜美多汁的大葡萄。可是老农夫年纪大了，体力渐渐衰弱，再也不能到园里工作，而他的三个儿子虽然已经成年，却十分懒惰，眼看着园子一天天地荒芜了。临终前，他把三个儿子叫到身边，对他们说：我的孩子们，在葡萄园里，我埋藏着一批珍宝，你们生活困难时就挖出来补贴家用吧。说完他就去世了。儿子们见父亲已死，立即找来锄犁，挖的挖，耕的耕，翻土三尺，可是始终也没有找到那批财宝，而整座葡萄园由于他们的耕,挖等于来了一次精耕细作。虽然他们没有找到意外之财，而土地却给了他们奖赏。第二年，葡萄获得了大丰收。每颗葡萄都圆滚滚的，像一颗颗紫红色的大珍珠发出耀眼的光芒。三兄弟高兴极了，他们把一部分葡萄运到镇上去卖，一部分酿成了葡萄酒，赚了一大笔钱。虽然没有找到珍宝，但把园子松了土总是对的！老三开心地说道。老二说：现在我总算明白父亲的用心了！其实他是要咱们辛勤劳动，这样才能收获无数珍宝。老大感慨地说：你们看，那满园的葡萄不就像珍宝吗，它们是那样的闪亮,美丽！
