A potato farmer was sent to prison just at the time when he should have been digging the ground for planting potatoes. He knew that his wife would not be strong enough to do the digging by herself, but she could manage to plant, and he also knew he didn't have any friends to do the digging for him. So he wrote a letter to his wife. “Please don't dig the potato field, I hid the money there.”
Ten days later he got a letter from his wife. “I think somebody read your letter, some policemen arrived here and dug up the whole potato field two days ago. What shall I do now?”
The farmer wrote back at once, “Plant the potatoes, of course.”
