Once, an old man used to live with his son. But one day his son was convicted and sent in prison.
Old
man had a plot in front of his house in which he used to grow potatoes. This
year again it was time for planting of potatoes in plot but all the digging and
planting was lots of hard work for old man to do all by himself.
His
only son was still in prison as old man was not able to get any attorney to get
him out of prison. So one day old man wrote a letter to his son in prison and
told him about situation.
He
wrote in letter:
Son,
I
am feeling bad as this year I will not be able to plant potatoes in garden. I
don’t want to miss this as your mother always loved this but son I am too old
to dig up plot for gardening of potatoes.
I
wish you were here with me, I know you would have dug the plot for me and all
my troubles would be over.
Love
Dad.
After
just few days, old man received a telegram from his son with short reply from
his son:
Note
in the Telegram was:
Dad…!
Don’t dig up that plot in front of our house…that’s where I had buried and hid
all the Guns…!
Next
morning, old man saw that FBI agents and police officers showed up in front of
old man’s house and dug up whole plot in search of guns but weren’t able to
find any gun so they left.
Confused
by all this old man wrote another letter to his son in prison, telling him
about all what happened.
His
son reply was:
Dad,
go ahead and plant your potatoes…. It’s best I could do to help you from here…
Moral:
If you have decided to do something deep from your heart, you will find way to
do it.
