A Garden Story
An old Arab lived close to New York City for more
than 40 years. One day he decided that he would love
to
plant potatoes and herbs in his garden, but he knew
he was alone and too old and weak.
His son was in college in Paris, so the old man
sent him an e-mail explaining the problem:
"Beloved son, I am very sad, because I can't plant
potatoes in my garden. I am sure, if only you were
here, that you would help me and dig up the garden
for me. I love you, your father."
The following day, the old man received a response
e-mail from his son:
"Beloved father, please don't touch the garden.
That is where I have hidden 'the THING'. I love you,
too, Ahmed."
At 4pm the US Army, the Marines, the FBI, the CIA,
the NSA, the OHS, and the Rangers visited the house of
the old man and took the whole garden apart, searching
every inch. But they couldn't find anything.
Disappointed, they left the house.
The next day, the old man received another e-mail
from his son:
"Beloved father, I hope the garden is dug up by now
and you can plant your potatoes. That is all I
could do for you. Your loving son, Ahmed". |
