| An old man lived alone in Espania. He wanted to spade his paddy field, 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 sow seeds this year. I hate to miss doing the field because your mother always loved planting time. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a 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 local police officers showed up and dug up the entire plot 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 seeds, 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. |
