A Caring Son!!!!


An old man lived alone in a village. 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!!’ 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. IT IS THE THOUGHT THAT MATTERS.. NOT
WHERE YOU ARE OR WHERE THE PERSON IS….
