So Ben and Carol Ann dey dun decided to git hitched. Ben paid massa Walker for de land. Now beens dey no house on it Ben and Carol Ann waded until March 1st. So it not be too cole on em of a night. Dey didn't even tell der folks till dat morning. Dey went to de courthouse and sade dey I dos and den Carol Ann had to go to work her mean old lady wouldn't even give her de day off. Massa Walker gave it to Ben along with a raise to a quarder a week! Carol Ann got a raise too! Togeder dey would make thirty fi cent a week.
Ben went off to de farm and began a workin up a storm. He got down on his hands and his knees and began to pullin de weeds rite out de ground with his bare hands. When he had cleared a space off at de front he began to pick up all de rocks he could and put em in a circle so's dey could build a fire. Den he cut every limb he could and used em to build a little shelter with a sloped roof and an open fron and sides. Den he took all dem clippings from de weed pulling and use dem to fix the roof with. Not bad he thought for a start.

She was a worryin herself to death.She finally got home and seen what all Ben had dun she was so proud. De fire wuz cracklin and Ben wuz a smilin. Life wuz finally lookin up. Oh NO she had Plum for got to stop by de creek and git some water to use fo de potatoes. What wuz Ben gonna say. Could she do did? Could she be a good wife?
