The Punpkin Patch

An old Italian man lived alone in the country. He wanted to dig his pumpkin patch but it was very hard work as the ground was hard. His only son, Vincenzo, who used to help him, was in prison.

The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.

Dear Vincenzo,

I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my pumpkin patch this year. I am getting too old to be digging up the patch. If you were here, my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the patch for me.

Love, Papa

A few days later he received a letter from his son.


Dear Papa,

I'd do anything for you Papa, except dig up that patch. That's where I buried the bodies.

Love, Vinnie

At 4 am the next morning, FBI and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. The same day the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Papa,

Go ahead and plant the pumpkins now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.


Love, Vinnie
