'The News from Lake Wobegon'

The Deaner's flowering crab apple burst into bloom. Harold and Marlis were in love since they were children. Martis' father was a lost cause drunk and Marlis feared that Harold might tum out the same. One night at a party when Harold was 17, his friends lit off one of his farts. Martis did not go with him for two years. She went with Stu, who owned a red Piper Cub. Martis was in charge of the LW Lutheran Church Sweet Hearts Banquet and decided to have roast beef and morel mushrooms. She told Harold and Stu she needed the morels. Stu landed in a pasture and when he taxied, the Cub nosed over. Harold gave Martis 500 morel mushrooms and a sprig of flowering crab apple and proposed. Marlis said "Yes." Seven years later, Harold jumped off the roof to impress the kids and sprained his ankle. He planted a grafted crab apple sprig in the pot hole. Martis laughed at him. But the tree grew to be magnificent.
