The Tomato Garden
An old Italian man lived alone in New Jersey. He wanted to dig his
tomato garden, but it was hard work for his advanced years as the
ground was very 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
a garden plot. If you were here my troubles would be over. I know you
would dig the plot for me.
Love Papa
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Papa,
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 Papa,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under
the circumstances.
Love Vinnie
