Hey all!
I love this story for a few reasons:
1. Henry takes the traditional Suitor-does-heroic-act-for-princess thing, and Americanizes it (cowboys, ranchers, and guns, etc).
2. The ending (which I'll try not to spoil) turns that traditional tale on its head. O Henry is the king of surprise endings.
3. O Henry had a really fascinating life. This story probably dates from the time he worked on a Texas ranch, but I encourage you to read about all the other jobs he held. His life is like a movie (He went on the run for several years, fleeing authorities, only to return when his wife was dying).
This is the first story we've recorded for Morning Short, so I look forward to hearing your feedback, or answering any questions you may have in the comments!
