Jim, a young farmer, was once put into prison. 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 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.
