Subject: Kia Ora
An old Maori man lived alone at his family home in the
Hokianga. He
wanted
to dig his kumara garden, but it was very hard work. His
only son,
Hone,
who used to help him was in the new Ngawha Prison.
The old man wrote
a
letter to his
son and described his predicament.

Kia ora e Hone
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I
won't be able to plant
my
kumara garden this year. I'm just getting too old to
be digging up the
hard
ground for my garden plot. I know if you were here,
all my troubles
would
be over because being a good son I know you would
dig the garden plot
for
me.

A few days
later he received a reply from his son.

E Pa
For god's sake don't dig that garden. That's where I
buried the
bodies.
Love Hone |
At 4am the
next morning, the Whangarei C.I.B and the local police
arrived
with a search warrant and dug up the entire area without
finding any
bodies. They apologised profusely and left.
Later the same day the old man received another letter
from his son.

E Pa
Go ahead and plant your kumara now. That's the best
I could do under
the
circumstances.
Love Hone |
