Why Ben be digging with a borrowed shovel Carol Ann be washing de clothes and cooking dey supper. De be freezing of a night so dey sleep in de clothes and dey pray it don't rain. Sum people from de church came by and Carol Ann and Ben de decide de gonna be church folk.
Now by de time Saturday git here Ben dun got half the place cleared, but dey really be needing water so he dug that ol well hole all day and little Carol Ann on her hands and knees be pullin weeds and clearing dat land off. Dey had to git to bed early on a count of tomarraw be der first church service and de shure don't wanna be late and make people think less of em cause anyone dat know de family is gonna be wondering whats up when dey show up.
