The Life You Save May Be Your Own

This was a very odd story for me to read, and I am going to tell you why. First off this guy just randomly shows up to the house and the old women and girl seem to have really no problem with it. He starts talking to them like he knows them or something, and at this point I was trying to figure out if he did know them. Then, I find out that he wants to fix the house. So, he goes about fixing the house. At first I thought maybe he was just a nice guy and he wanted to just fix the house for free, then I began to think that he wanted a place to stay. After awhile the guy has fixed numerous amounts of things, and then the old lady asked Mr.Shiftlet to marry her daughter. This seemed so weird, I mean she not even known the guy that long and she wants to give him her daughter. This was just so weird, because the old lady was so protective over the daughter, yet she gave him to a person who they have known for a short period of time. Mr. Shiftlet agrees to marry the daughter and, he takes some money and a car from the old lady to go on a "honeymoon". I really didn't think he had any intentions of staying with the daughter for very long, and when they got to a restaurant and she fell asleep, Mr. Shiftlet took off. This kind of made me mad, because the daughter did not do anything to deserve this. Then he picks up the kid and they insult each other's mothers and then the kid jumps out. I just found this to be very random, and I really didn't think it fell into the story very well. I would have to say that I did not enjoy this story very much just because it was very weird and random.
