Their Fathers Treasure

By Collin

Once upon a time a young farmer who lived in England inherited a small farm from his father. The young farmer was an industrious man and the farm grew. In time he had two sons whom he named Fergus and David. His sons however were not like their father they were somewhat lazy so he tried to teach them but without success. Soon he had something else to worry about. It had started in Asia and almost depopulated it and was spreading into Europe. It was the Black Plague and it spared neither station, age nor sex it seemed to have no remedy . Nevertheless he was determined that his family should not starve he worked the farm by himself. One day while working he noticed a small black spot on one of his legs. He froze, it was the sign of the dreaded Plague! He knew had only a few hours left until! He staggered back to his house and called ''Fergus, David come hear quickly'' his sons came rather slowly, Fergus grumbled ''why did you wake us up so early it's 8:00''then they saw there father and said ''what is wrong father ''they exclaimed he whispered ''I have the plague! Don't come to close''. His sons were cowering away from him when he exclaimed ''My sons there is a great treasure in the fields'' then his sons whooped with joy and forgot that there father had the disease. Then his sons ran outside and started digging when they came back later that day they found there father dead. They morned for many days and then they got back to work searching for the treasure in the fields. After several weeks search they were frustrated to find no treasure and got ready for winter. Winter came and went and the spring rain's fell. And thanks to the boys careful plowing the farm it yielded ten times the amount it ever did. After a while the boys realized that the treasure there father spoke of was the fruit of there own labor.

The end
