The Treasure in the Well

Once there was a pious knight who doted on his son, who in turn plotted against his father, wishing to kill him. One night the knight dreamed that he discovered a great treasure at the bottom of a nearby well, and the next morning he brought his son with him to investigate. He climbed down into the well, and discovered that there really was a great treasure there - but his son seized his opportunity, and threw a large stone down into the well, crushing and killing his father. The son kept all the treasure for himself.
