How to get work done without touching – Nice Small story

An old man lived alone in small village in India . He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison. The old man sent a telegram to his son and mentioned his situation.
Dear Son,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate of doing the garden work due to my old age, moreover your mother is no more, or else we used to do it together I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot.  If you were here, all my troubles would have been over.
Shortly, the old man received this telegram:
“For Heaven’s sake, Dad, don’t dig up the garden!! The Guns may be buried there !!!!”
With love
SonThe next morning, A dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns.
Confused, the old man sent another telegram to his son telling him what is this, why you did this nasty things and police came and asked me so many questions, and they digged all the field and went but didn’t find any Guns which you mentioned.

His son’s reply was:”Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad. It’s the best I could do for you from here.”

    i was thinking that if it happens in india, they will put the gun and arrest their father and extend sons imprisonment date, there is some human rights in america, as well in europe. but in india bullshit.

    The son possesses imagination. He was clear in his mind about the outcome of his letter. One wonders what led him into prison.

    I knew this story before. However, if you look at the first line, you would find “small village in India”. If it was happened in India, the Indian intelligence department was supposed to come and dig out the land to find the gun. I am pretty confused why FBI from USA came and did this work. Was Indian government ask any help from FBI of USA? Or do we believe that India doesn’t have the technology and hence they hired FBI of USA for this particular task?

    Or, if the first line was written as “small village in Indiana state of USA”, I hope the problem would not arise. Well! that’s a tricky tactic played by the son to help the old father and hence to grow potato without being touching.

    This is the position of the FBI and Police. That’s why the crimes have increased.
    Any how, its highly appreciated that the FBI and Police have spent one day very usefully and contributed to the development of the country’s economy.

    It is CBI in India.

      hey, if the hard working is all the thing what we need to make impossible into possible or by doing hard work u can achieve what u want or u could be a successful then donkey should be the king of forest (wood) instead of Lion. You need both the intelligence and hardworking to success

    beside the story is nice with good moral, it’s been redundant.
    once as a joke, another as emotional story.

    But now: FBI in INDIA!!!!!
