The cabin was a bachelor's retreat: a kerosene cookstove, green with yellow trim, the paint chipped; a worn oil cloth on a kitchen table; an iron bed; a walnut dresser, dusty and cluttered; and a single straight-back chair.

Danny's skin itched with prickly heat, so the old man let him use the shower he had constructed outside with a barrel of water.

The old man took the top off a can of beans, slivered two big potatoes and cooked the beans and potatoes together, drowned in catsup. It was a simple meal, but Danny enjoyed it. It was dark, so the old man lit the kerosene lamp. The old man played cowboy tunes on his harmonica, while the boy, Danny, cleaned up after their meal. The boy went to bed first. The mattress was lumpy, with no sheets, but under him a light blanket, over a heavier blanket. The boy fell asleep at once.

The old man smiled warmly-for the first time-blew out the kerosene lamp, and crawled in the bed beside the boy.
