How Smart the Son Is

An old man lived alone in Minnesota. He wanted to spade his potato

garden, but it was very hard work. His only son,

who would have helped him, was in prison.

The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:

Dear Son,

I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant

my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden, because

your mother always loved planting time. I'm just getting too old to

be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be

over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren't in prison.

With Love,

Dad

Shortly, the old man received this telegram: "For Heaven's sake, Dad,

don't dig up the garden!! That's where I buried the GUNS!!"

At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police

officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns.

Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what

happened, and asked him what to do next.

His son's reply was: "Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad... It's

The best I could do for you from here."

Moral:

NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, IF YOU HAVE DECIDED

 TO DO

SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART YOU CAN DO IT FOR YOUR LOVED ONES. IT IS THE THOUGHT!!
