The Aesop for Children, The Farmer and His Sons, sentence 8

No hidden gold did they find; but at harvest time when they had settled their accounts and had pocketed a rich profit far greater than that of any of their neighbors, they understood that the treasure their father had told them about was the wealth of a bountiful crop, and that in their industry had they found the treasure.

Who acts: hidden gold, sons, that · What happens: find, settle, pocket, understand, tell, be · To what, where: sons, rich profit, treasure · Speech: someone speaks here
