The Helpful Son
November 9th 2007 03:12
An old Greek man lived alone in Marrickville. 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, Spiro, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote
a letter to his son and described his predicament.
Dear Spiro,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my
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 Spiro
At 4 A.M. the next morning, Federal agents and NSW 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 Spiro
