An Italian garden

An old Italian man lived alone in the country. He wanted to dig his

tomato garden, but it was very hard work as the ground was too hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.



"Dear Vincent, I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't

be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too

old to be digging up the soil. If you were here, my troubles would

be over. I know you would dig the garden for me. Love, Dad"



A few days later, he received a letter from his son.



"Dear Dad, Please don't dig up the garden. That's where I buried

the bodies. Love, Vinnie"



At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and

dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized

to the old man and left. That same day, the old man received

another letter from his son.



"Dear Dad, Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That was the best I could do under the circumstances. Love, Vinnie"
