Beschreibung

Two middle aged single men suddenly decide it's high time to find them a woman, but since they have never courted a woman they have no idea where to start. They decide that the neighboring county saloon might be the perfect place to strike up a courtship. They quickly realize that finding a woman might be more than the two have bargained for, but since they are both desperate they are willing to at least give it a try. A Muddy Fork Short Story.

Some men just have a certain way about them that others notice. Earl Madden is one of those men. He lives over on Copper Creek, just past the swinging bridge. He works alongside me at old man Moore's sawmill and sometimes he and I will go fishing at the Muddy Fork River.

 Earl is twenty-seven years old and has never been married, nor has he ever courted a woman. He said just the other day, 'Jake Freeman, we have been friends a long time, and I respect you as a good friend, but I want to ask you a simple question. How does a man like me go about meeting a woman, and what does a woman like in a man?

Well, to beat it all, I was not able to give him one bit of advice, because that question could have been the same one that I could have asked him. I wasn't able to answer him because I have never courted a gal here in Muddy Fork County either. As a matter of fact, I have never even spoken to a gal, let alone courted one. Here's one thing pappy told me a long time ago: if a man has a purse loaded with money, and lots of it, most women will love him. Unfortunately, neither Earl nor I have any. We are both just regular men. Not too ugly and not too handsome. 'We are somewhere right in the middle of the road on that,' he said, giving me a funny look.

Earl thought some more on this, and then said, "I got to thinking just the other day, after my sawmill work, just how lonesome it is being still under your pappy and mammy's roof and being a full grown man. Why don’t me and you ride our mules over to Taylor County next Friday where folks don’t know us and see if we can find us a gal to spark. Maybe some woman will come along and see fellows like you and me, and want to be friends," he added hopefully.
