Chandru looked at his hands and realised his old age has caught up well on him . His feeble hands would not allow him do any rusty work . He was trying to plant some sunflower seeds for his grandson who loves them, but stays quite far away in a Foreign land. He did not quite get help from his Son Raghu, who thinks the old man is nothing but a burden. His grandson(Rahul) was returning back in a couple of months and they write between them regularly .Rahul loves his grandfather very much and regrets his Dad for showing disrespect to the old man.
Chandru wrote to his grandson " Dear Rahul Betta, In spite of me trying so hard, am not able to plant the sunflower seeds, which I thought will be so much of a colourful greeting for you. Am not able to dig with my old hands and am very sorry that I am not able to greet you in a colourful way when you arrive. please take care" and he gave the letter to Raghu to get it sent across.
Rahul wrote back " Dear Grandpa, Please do not dig the Garden until I am back, that's where I have hidden something Valuable for you "
Two days later Raghu and his elder son started digging the garden frantically to Chandru's bewilderment. Finally without a word they gave up and left.
Puzzled Chandru wrote back telling Rahul what happened and what to do next.

Reply from Rahul" Go ahead and plant the seeds now.Its the best I could have done for you :) "

Even I remember something similar. An ol' folk tale. But it strains to think in the past.
This is my first visit, but I'm very impressed with your blog. I have a blog myself that provides inspiration and guidance to millions of people around the world. I was wondering if we could do a link exchange to spread some traffic around. Let me know if this is cool.
