The Michaels family owned 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 generations.
Mrs. Michaels, who had just celebrated her ninetieth birthday, 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 in Ottawa has come to an agreement with the
people in Washington D.C. 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. “Jump at it! Call them right now and
tell them we accept! I don’t think I could stand another one of those
Canadian winters!”
