You Can Do It


An old man lived alone in Minnesota. 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.
