An old Arab man lived close to New York City for more than 40 years. One
day, he decided that he would like to plant some herbs in his garden but
he
knew he was alone and too old and weak to do it.
His son was in college in Paris, so the old man sent him an e-mail
explaining the problem:
'Beloved son,
I am very sad, because I can't plant any herbs in my garden.
I am sure, if only you were here, that you would help me and dig up the
garden for me.
I love you,
your father.'
The following day, the old man received a response e-mail from his son:
'Beloved father,
Please don't touch the garden. That is where I have hidden 'THE THING.'
I love you, too,
Ahmed.'
At 4am the FBI and the CIA visited the house of the old man and took the
whole garden apart, searching every inch. But they couldn't find anything.
Disappointed, they left the house.
The next day, the old man received another e-mail from his son:
'Beloved father,
I hope the garden is dug up by now and you will be able to plant your
herbs.
That is all I could do for you from here.
Your loving son,
Ahmed'.
