CANADIAN WINTER…..
July 18th, 2005
An elderly Irish woman lived on a small farm in Canada, just yards
away from the North Dakota border. Their land had been the subject
of a minor dispute between the United States and Canada for years.
The widowed woman lived on the farm with her son and three
grandchildren.
One day, her son came into her room holding a letter. “I just got some
news, Mom,” he said. “The government has come to an agreement with the
people in North Dakota. They’ve decided that our land is really part of
the United States. We have the right to approve or disapprove of the
agreement. What do you think?”
“What do I think?” his mother said. “Sign it! Call them right now and
tell them we accept! I don’t think I can stand another Canadian winter!”
