UNBELIEVABLE PRESENCE OF MIND - A TRUE STORY

This is a true story of presence of mind. 

There lived an old man in Minnesota, USA. He wanted to cultivate potato in his land. The old man was not healthy enough to spade the ground to plant potato. He thought if his son would have been there he would certainly have helped him, but, unfortunately, he was in prison. He thought of telling this to his son. He wrote a letter to the prison for his son. "I am unable to spade the ground to plant potato. Your mother liked to plant potato in the right time. If you were here, you would have helped me to plant.  There is no other way but to leave the cultivation this time." He received a telegram from his son soon: "Don't dig the ground. I have kept the guns under the ground."

Next morning, some FBI officers alongwith local police officers with spade, sickles and bars came to the house and started digging the ground all over but could not find anything. The old man wrote his son again telling him all that happened there. Soon came another telegram from his son. "Dad, I think the land must be ready now for planting potatoes. I could not do anything more than this to help you."
