Now dat first nite, it be a strange night for both of dem. Dey be all hungry and anxious and cold. Dey only things dey brought with dem is some blankets and a pillow a piece. As dey snuggled into der little hut Ben built, dey knew dey couldn't survive dis way long so on der wedding night dey stayed up and talked pert near all night long. Dey's a makin plans for dey life togeder. First thing dey decide is dey ain't gonna be like der families wuz. Dey gonna be honorable folk. Dey gonna go to church and be somebody. Dey gonna work hard and try to have something. Dey made another impotant decision dat night and dat wuz until dey had a real roof over dey head dey would not bring a child into dis world till dey could raise it rite. Dat last one wuz gonna be the hard part. Could Ben hold out fo de sake of his family?

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.
When Carol Ann got off she hightailed it over to de sto. She bought em a kettle and some potatoes and two forks and jus dat wuz thirty cent. Oh no how would dey ever make it?What had dey done? 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?
