Government surveyors came to Ole's farm in the fall and
asked if they could do some surveying. Ole agreed, and Lena
even served them a nice meal at noon time.
The next spring, the two surveyors stopped by and told Ole,
"Because you were so kind to us, we wanted to give you this
bad news in person instead of by letter."
Ole replied, "What's the bad news?"
The surveyors stated, "Well, after our work here, we
discovered your farm is not in Minnesota but is actually in
Wisconsin!"
Ole looked at Lea and said, "That's the best news I have
heard in a long time. I just told Lena this morning that I
don't think I can take another winter in Minnesota."
