ATTITUDE AND ITS IMPOTANCE

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 wont be able to plant my potato garden
this year. I hate to miss doing the garden, because your mother always loved planting time. Im
just getting too old to be digging upa garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be
over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you werent in prison.
Love,
Dad
Shortly the old man received this telegram: For Heavens sake, Dad, dont dig up the garden!!
Thats 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 sons reply was: Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad ... Its 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.
