father & son

[ed & inge]

The old Mustafa lives for over 40 years in New York.

He would like to plant potatoes in his garden, but he is alone and
old and his son lives in Iraq. He writes an e-mail to his
son:

"Dear Ahmed. I'm very sad because in my garden no
can plant potatoes.
I'm sure you had helped me to dig the garden, if you were here
I love you. Your Father '

The son immediately wrote back:

"Dear Father. Please don't touch enything in the garden!
I have hidden "the stuff" in the garden.
I love you. Ahmed '


Less than 2 hours later the U.S. Army, the Marines, the FBI and the CIA
arrive at the house of the old man. They dig in the garden spade to spade,
search every millimeter, but they find nothing. Disappointed they go away.

The same evening the old man gets an e-mail from his son:

"Dear Father. Most likely, the garden is now completely dug up and
You can plant potatoes. There is nothing more at this moment and distance I could do for you.

I love you. Ahmed '
