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.
After their surveying was completed, they came back to Ole and said, "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 surveying, we discovered your farm is not in Minnesota , but is actually in North Dakota !"
Ole said "That's the best news I've had in a long time. I was just telling Lena this morning, I don't think I can take another winter in Minnesota ."
