Here is the Small Story for all of us... Please read and think.....
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 misdoing the garden, because your mother always loved planting them. 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 the prison.
Love,
Dad
Shortly, the old man received this telegram from his son:
For Heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up the garden !! That's where I buried the GUNS!!
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.

So, 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 and attitude that matters!!

This is similar to the Aesop's story where two farmers wanted to plough the fields. So lied that there was treasure buried under their farm. So the greedy neighbors ploughed the entire field!
Yes, true. Though this one have a bit of dad - son relationship and emotions in addition.
