The Very Best For Papa

THE TOMATO GARDEN


An old Italian man lived alone in the country. He
wanted to dig his tomato garden but it was very hard work as the ground was hard. His only son, Vincenzo, who used to help him, was in prison.

The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.

Dear Vincenzo,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't
be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I am
getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you
were here, my troubles would be over. I know you would
dig the garden for me.
Love, Papa

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

Dear Papa,
I'd do anything for you Papa, except dig up that
garden. That's where I buried the bodies.
Love, Vinnie

At 4 am the next morning, FBI 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 Papa,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now.
That's the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love, Vinni

It just goes to show you, genuine love is smart, endless and unconditional.
