Jim, a young farmer, was once put into
prison (监狱).
One day, he got a letter from his
mother. "I'm so worried about our farm," she wrote. "It's time
to plant potatoes. I can't dig(挖) all the fields by myself. "
Jim read the letter and became sad. "What
can I do?" he thought. Then he had a good idea. He wrote to his mother, "Don't
dig the fields. There's a pot of money in the earth. Don't plant potatoes until
I come home."
Some days later, Jim got another letter
from his mother. It said, "Two days ago, about ten men came to our farm
and dug all our fields. I can't understand it. It looks as if they were looking
for something. What shall I do?"
Jim smiled when he read his mother's
letter. He wrote a letter to his mother at once. It was very short. Guess what
it would say?
