Helping hands
援助之手
Jane Warner's husband, Jack, was sent to prison for two years for
stealing. While he was in prison, Jane had a very difficult time.
She had two children, but no job. Her husband, of course, did not
make any money either. The only money she had was a small amount from the government.
"I don't know how we will manage," she wrote to her husband in prison. "I get only enough money to pay the rent. There isn't enough money for food. I think I'll have to plant vegetables in the garden. They'll grow quickly. We can live on vegetables."
The garden was quite large, and much of it was covered with grass.
When Jack Warner received his wife's letter, he replied to it immediately.
"Don't dig up the garden," he wrote. "That's where the money I stole is hidden."
All letters written by the prisoners were read by one of the guards before they were mailed. When the guard read Jack's letter, he took it to the head guard.
When the head guard read it, he telephoned the police. He told them what Jack had written to his wife.
The police immediately went to Jack's house. They took forks and shovels with them. They dug up the garden, looking for the money, but they did not find anything.
