Dear Walter
An old man about 80 years old lived alone in Winnipeg. He wanted to
plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the
ground was hard.
His only son, Walter, who used to help him, was in prison in Prince
Albert,Saskatchewan.
The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:
Dear Walter,
I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won't be able to
plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be
digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would
be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the
old days.
Love,
Papa
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Papa,
Don't dig up that garden. That's where the bodies are buried.
Love,
Walter
At 4 a.m. the next morning, RCMP and local Winnipeg 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 you,
Walter
