An old man lived alone in Northern Ireland.His only son was in
prison.The old man wanted to plant some potatoes in his garden but he didn't know anyone who would help him plow up the garden.
He wrote to his son about it,and received this reply,"For HEAVENS SAKE,don't dig up that garden,that's where I buried the GUNS!"
At 4 AM the next morning,a dozen British soldiers showed up and dug up the entire garden,but didn't find any guns.
Confused,the man wrote to his son telling him what happened and asking him what to do next.
His son's reply was:"Just plant your potatoes."

Mr．a(chǎn)nd Mrs．Taylor had a seven year old boy named Pat．Now Mrs．Taylor was expecting another child．
Pat had seen babies in other people's houses and had not liked them very much,so he was not delighted about the news that there was soon going to be one in his house too．
One evening Mr．a(chǎn)nd Mrs．Taylor were making plans for the baby's arrival．“This house won't be big enough for us all when the baby comes,”said Mr．Taylor．
Pat came into the room just then and said,“What are you talking about?”“We were saying that we'll have to move to an other house now,because the new baby's coming,”his mother answered．
“ It's no use,”said Pat hopelessly．“ He'll follow us there．”
