An old Italian man lived alone in the country. He\u00c2\u00a0 wanted to dig his tomato garden, but it was very hard work as the ground was\u00c2\u00a0 hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old\u00c2\u00a0 man wrote a letter to his son and described his\u00c2\u00a0 predicament. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

I am feeling pretty\u00c2\u00a0 badly because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this\u00c2\u00a0 year. I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be\u00c2\u00a0 happy to dig the plot for me. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A few days later he\u00c2\u00a0 received a letter from his son: <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Dear Dad, <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Don’t dig up that\u00c2\u00a0 garden. That’s where I buried the bodies.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Love,\u00c2\u00a0 Vinnie <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

At 4:00 a.m. the next morning F.B.I. agents and local\u00c2\u00a0 police arrived and dug up the entire garden without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

That same day the old man\u00c2\u00a0 received another letter from his son: <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Dear Dad, <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Go ahead\u00c2\u00a0 and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the\u00c2\u00a0 circumstances. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
