More snow


Het was een rampjaar voor de boeren.

"It must have been terrible," said the government official to a farmer. "All that snow."
"Had erger kunnen zijn. Mijn buurman had meer sneeuw dan ik.", antwoordde de boer kalm.

"Could have been worse. My neighbor had more snow than I," answered the farmer calmly.

"How come?" asked the government official.
"Meer land", antwoordde de boer.

"More land," replied the farmer.
