Rose's husband, George, was in prison for two years for stealing. While he was in prison, Rose had a very difficult time. She had two children, but no job. Her husband did not make any money either. She only had a small amount money from the government.
“I don't know how we will manage. Life is so difficult for us,” she wrote to her husband in prison. “I get only enough money to pay the rent (房租). There isn't enough money for food. I have to plant vegetables in the garden. They will grow quickly. We can live on vegetables.”
The garden was quite large, and much of it was covered with grass.
When George received his wife's letter, he wrote to her 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 (守卫) before they were mailed.
When the guard read George5 s letter, he took it to the head guard. When the head guard read it, he telephoned the police. He told them what George had written to his wife.
The police went to George's house at once. They dug up the garden, looking for the money, but they did not find anything.
When they had gone, Rose wrote to her husband. “The police came today,” she wrote. “They dug up the garden. What should I do?”
Her husband wrote back immediately, “Plant the vegetables.”
