3分鐘兒童英文故事：葡萄園的寶藏

Once upon a time, in a distant village, there was a farmer who worked very hard. He had fields where he grew grapes. Every year, these fields produced a lot of grapes, and the farmer became very successful. He had three sons, who were young and full of energy, but they never wanted to work. As the farmer grew older, he started to worry about what would happen to his sons in the future.

One day, the farmer became very sick and realized that he might not have much time left to live. So, he called his sons and said to them,

"My dear sons, I can feel that my time is coming to an end. But before I say goodbye to all of you, I want to share a special secret with you. There is a hidden treasure buried beneath our fields. After I am no longer here, you should dig up the entire field to find it."

Sadly, the old farmer passed away, and his sons gave him a proper farewell. After his funeral, the sons started digging up the field, searching for the treasure their father had mentioned. They dug and dug, but they couldn't find any treasure. However, their hard work in the field resulted in a bountiful harvest and a lot of money. This made the sons understand what their father had meant.

The Lesson of the Story:
Working hard always brings rewards. The fruits of your hard work are always sweet, even if they don't come in the exact form you were expecting.

從前從前，在一個遙遠的村莊中，住著一位辛勤的農夫，他擁有自己的葡萄園。每年，他的葡萄園都非常豐收，使得農夫變得非常成功。他有三個兒子，年輕而充滿活力，但卻從不願意工作。隨著農夫年事漸長，他開始擔心兒子們的未來。

有一天，農夫病得很重，意識到自己的生命即將結束。他召集兒子們並告訴他們：

"親愛的兒子們，我感覺我的生命即將結束，但在我向你們告別之前，我想與你們分享一個秘密。在這塊田地底下，藏著一個寶藏。在我去世後，你們應該挖掘整個田地，找到它。"

老農夫去世了，他的兒子們為他舉行了適當的葬禮。葬禮結束後，兒子們開始挖掘田地，尋找他父親所提到的寶藏。他們辛勤地挖掘了整個田地，但卻找不到任何寶藏。然而，他們在田地中的辛勤勞動結出豐收，帶來了可觀的收入。這讓兒子們明白了他們父親的用意。

故事的寓意：
努力工作總會有回報。辛勤勞動的果實總是甜美的，無論它們是否以你所期望的形式呈現。
