The Farmer And His Sons
There was once an old, dying farmer (1-B) who had worked hard in his vineyard all his life.  Before he died he wanted to teach his three sons how to be good farmers.  So he called them to his bedside and said, ‘My boys, I have an important secret to tell you: there is a great treasure buried in the vineyard.  Promise me that you will look for it when I am dead.’
The sons gave their promise and (2-A) as soon as their father had died they began looking for the treasure.  They worked very hard in the hot sun (3-D) and while they were working they thought about what their father had said.  They pictured boxes of cold coins, diamond necklaces, and other such things.  (4-F) Soon they had dug up every inch of the vineyard but they found not a single penny.  They were very upset (5-E) because they felt that all their hard work had been for nothing. However, a few months later the grapes started to appear on the vines.  Their grapes were the biggest and best in the neighbourhood and they sold them for a lot of money.  Now the sons understood (6-C) what their father had meant by the great treasure and they lived happily ever after.
