an old story…but worth mentioning again!

15 April 2008 No Comment

There was this old man who lived alone. 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.

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!”

The next morning,

A dozen CBI 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 Of the Story

NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD,

IF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART, YOU CAN DO
