Once, there lived a kind prince, who loved to travel alone. One day, the prince lost his way and reached a village. A farmer was ploughing his field. The prince requested, “Please help me. I am very hungry and thirsty.” The farmer said, “Sir, please rest under the tree. I will bring some food and water for you from home.” When the farmer left, the prince thought, ‘The farmer’s work was disturbed because of me. I’ll help him.’ The prince worked for some time. As he ploughed at the end of the field, the plough hit something. The prince bent down to dig the mud and found a pot of gold coins. The prince called the farmer, at once, and said, “Farmer, you left your work to bring food for me. This is your reward.” The farmer was delighted. He said, “Sir, you helped me plough the field, too, so this reward equally belongs to you.” So, they both shared the gold.
