A Powerful Man, Even in Prison ...

An old Igbo farmer wrote a letter to his son in prison.
"Emeka,

This year I won't be able to plant yam and cassava because I can't dig the field, I know if you were here you would help me."
Emeka wrote back,
"Dad,

Don't even think of digging the field, because that's where I buried the money I stole"
On reading the letter, the prison officers went and dug the whole field, the very next day, looking for the money, but nothing was found.

The following day the son wrote back,
"Dad,

Now you can plant your yam and cassava. This is the best I can do from here... "
Dad, replied:
"Wow! Emekus my Son, you are a powerful man indeed, even in prison, because I was surprised to see all the prison officers with hoes and shovels digging. I will write u back when I want to harvest..."
