IV. Read the Short Story and answer the following question.
Many years ago a very poor peasant bought a plot of land. One day while he was
plowing it, he came upon an iron box that was buried in the soil. When he opened it, he was
astonished to discover that it was filled with valuable gemstones and coins made of silver
and gold. Since he owned the land where it was found, he could have kept the treasure for
himself. But the peasant was a truly honest man. He at once went to the person from whom
he had bought the land and showed him the treasure. What is this? asked the previous
owner of the plot. The peasant told him the story of how the treasure was found. But the
previous owner refused to accept it, saying, The treasure would have been mine if I had
found it. I think it must have been hidden in the plot by my ancestors. As you have found it,
it belongs to you. Finally, the two men decided to divide the treasure into two equal parts.
The peasant and the previous owner of the plot would each take half. Those were the days
when people were not greedy.
