Lars, who had grown up in rural Minnesota, spoke both Norwegian and English.
He had driven his car (De Dodge) into town one day and when he returned, relayed this story:
"I vas into Hauser's Hardvare, and der vas Charlie Hanson. He vas talking to some guy about de Bible.
After a little vile I valked up to Charlie and I said, "Charlie. I have yust been reading that part dat you are talking about. I haven't seen anyting like vat you are saying."
Den Charlie says, "Vell, you know Lars, you got to read betveen de lines!"
And I says, "But Charlie, I don't know vat vords I should put betveen de lines!""
