Italian Tomato Garden

An old Italian lived alone in New Jersey . He wanted to plant his annual

tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was 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 sad 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. I know if you were here my troubles would

be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the

old days. Love, Papa

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



Dear Papa, Don't dig up that garden. That's where the bodies

are buried. 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 you, Vinnie
