    A farmer found a large cracked pot while working in his field. He argued with his neighbor over ownership of the pot, since the neighbor had previously owned the land. They took their dispute to the magistrate for a ruling. While they fought, the magistrate noticed the pot was empty and realized there was no real treasure, only an old broken pot. He told the men to stop fighting over something worthless and focus on more important matters.
