Tycoon's Punny Outburst on Frozen Lake

Every day a peddler pulled his cart of wool from his home to the village market. It was a long trip. He had to travel around the perimeter of a large lake that was owned by the town tycoon, a modern-day Scrooge.
One day, during the winter, the lake froze over. The peddler realized he could cut two miles off his trip if he crossed over the lake. He was spotted halfway across the frozen water by the tycoon, who came out of his mansion screaming. "Get off my lake!" he yelled. "I'll be darned if I let anyone pull the wool over my ice!"
