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 misdoing 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 the prison.
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."

Something Deep From Your Heart, You Can Do It.
It Is The Thought That Matters Not Where You Are."
