    From Iowa to Wisconsin. Who will take the bent story....

    The story unfolded during several pauses for car repairs or camping. Others on the road were the cornfield. The period of bargaining with twin brothers was really reasonable and gentle. It's just that the story is not special, nor is it warm enough. Not brilliant.
