   I believe the punctuation is not well here. 2 commas too many. :-)   
   May I put it that way so that it would look more "digestible"?   
      
   "Russian datchnik contrived how to protect his tomatoes from theft"   
      
   > And he wrote on his fence this announcement:   
      
   "He posted the following announcement on his fence:"   
      
   > "One of my tomatoes is poisoned!"   
      
   > Next day he sees an addition: "Now there are two".   
      
   "Next day he saw a line was added"   
      
   All in all, seems like a true story though. :-)
