"Oh man, why were you in the employment office?" I asked.

"Well I too really need a job, so I went in there but was stopped short when my heart skipped a beat by this girls amazing confidence. The girl was hitting on me. I told her we are promised." Abner explained.

"So instead of a job, you found yourself a woman!" I say, with a smirk on my face. "Well I personally think that the employment office isn't good for finding a job or a woman who is willing to love you less than thirty seconds. I personally believe that god will bring me the right woman and the perfect job for me in the time being."

"That's what the single people say!" Said Abner, but he wasn't wrong. "You need to find yourself a girl."

"How?" I ask.

"I don't know, it just happens. Like today, I was blessed by god. I knew it was true love." Abner said.

"Alrighty Romeo, lets go back home and work. We need furniture.

I got back on the donkey and minutes later Abner joined but was distracted by his girl who came running out of the office crying, "Oh...oh, I never got your name!"

"It's Beckett Abner." He replied. Then before we left, Maybelle went and leaned in for a quick peck. "See you soon" she waved.

As we were walking over the fields of green on the donkey, we were stopped by a flock of birds. Only one meaning of the birds was something big was coming behind them.

We were on the edge of the woods and more birds kept coming out of the woods. I looked deeply into the woods before I saw a big, tall, fuzzy, brown figure in the woods.

"Abner." I whispered. "It's a grizzly!"

"Well darn it, grab your gun, and pop the head off of the sucker." Said Abner.

I grabbed the shotgun off the donkey. I made sure it was loaded and rode my donkey closer to the woods. Then I aimed directly at the bear and shot. Boom! The shot hit directly in the bears heart.

"Well let's tie the bear to a rope and drag him along!" I say to Abner as he was grabbing the rope and tying it around the bears neck. He tied it to the donkey's saddle making it a not quick release knot. And the donkey began to drag himself, two men, supplies, and a grizzly bear.

When they arrived, they looked over and saw a rocking chair on the porch of the new house, with a ribbon tied around it.

"Who sent this?" I asked.
