Short story: men of the argan

Peoples call him "key" even though he isn't doing any one of key jobs, he can't handle any kind of security cases, whether lock or unlock doors.
 he is given the name because peoples pay credit to him, for a maped palm he he got to dows water for every peasant wanted to drill a well, asked him to check his land,if it contain streams.
one time some curious villagers were amateur treasure hunters,have draged to him a proposal to use his dowsing skills,in looking for a treasure at where they suspect a jare of jewels is buried,he promised them that he will agree if everyone of them brought to him the argan plant they did that ,one day by the night all hunters gathered in appointed time it was summer,the breeze was blowing, waved their garments,they were about ten men circled around the place where they headed with axes on their shoulders to uncover treasure ,as they were excited by "key" who has sketched on the land,with stick in ten different places ,they heard a call from him to chek if there is any treasure around a patch he included with his stick! so while the land was solid, the soil took soo long to be extracted from holes ,they felt sweated tired of the digging vainly,they left the place one by one, in oreder to resume the work there  next day, "key" watched them taking a way to retun to their homes, he smiled because they were empty- handed getting away .
In morning they come to survey the place,where they were at night, they got surprised! in each hole there was the argan plant put to grow " no any treasure had been  buried can be found by eroding some floors if you make the land raw you can get this result" this was an answer of old man called "key" to them,when they become acquainted with argan fits their land , then this plant altered all choices they have in agriculture, every peasant around the village kept transplanting it in mountains .
