Ole told Lena he was going to chop down 20 trees with his ax and would be done by suppertime. He chopped all day long, but dropped only one tree. That night he was so tired he went to bed without supper.
The next morning Ole got up bright and early and told Lena: "I am goin' into town to pick me up vun a dose chain saws. Dat der ax yust don't vurk so good."
At the hardware store, the owner picked out a chain saw and said, "Here's the one you want. It's guaranteed to cut down 20 trees in a day."
Ole got excited and said, "Dat's yust vat I need! I'll take it."
The next day, Ole again got up bright and early, worked all day, but still dropped only one tree. He fumed to Lena, "Dis here chain saw is a piece of yunk! I am goin' to de store to get my money back."
He stormed into the hardware store and hollered, "Dis here chain saw don't verk. Yew said I could cut down tventy trees in a day, and I could only cut down vun."
Puzzled, the owner said, "Oh? Let's see if it's working right." He started the saw, and it went RRUMMMM.... Mmamamamama..... BRUMMMMM.. mmamamamama..... the way chainsaws do.
Startled, Ole jumped back and yelled: "VAT'S DAT AWFUL NOISE?"
