The Good Son

An old man lived alone in the country. He wanted to dig_ his potato garden but it was very hard work as the ground was hard. His_only son Fred, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a_ letter to his son and described his predicament.

Dear Fred,

I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be_able to
plant my potato garden this year. 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.

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

Dear Dad,
For heaven's sake, dad, don't dig up that garden, that's_where I
buried the BODIES.

At 4AM 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

The same day the old man received another letter from his_ son.

Dear Dad,
Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. That's the_ best I could do under the circumstances.
