how a Son in Prison changed his Father's life - #motivation #quotes #motivationalspeech #artwork
An old man once wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was
very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was
in prison, and he couldn't afford an attorney to get him out. 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."
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 4:00 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 had 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.
