Thread: Attitude.. Must read.

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 ..

awesome.....have read it long back.....but the feeling for the father matters!

Great One!! Keep posting buddy

Ahh that's really sweet! Its something that a lot of people should read, its not hard doing something for someone, whether its taking out the guns, getting them their favourite food item, posting a letter for them or anything else (this is referring to the moral of the story)!

I am a bit . What exactly is the moral of this story???

-F

p.s there is a line in the original post about the morals but this is
such a lousy story to illustrate that particular moral ;-)

Well yeh it is a bit lousy, but moral is you can make things happen for someone no matter where you are!

Sorry If I came on a bit strong.

The reason I was prompted to type in my response was I have heard
a lot of bad things being directed by people in Jail. There are
so many instances where inmates order murders and other illegal
activity outside jail while they are inside the jail. This is a real
problem in many countries.

Very Good story. I read this a long time ago. But its worth reading again.
