Once upon a time in the far west, there lived a BRUTAL MINER___, who had a TIRED WIFE___, a LAZY SON___, a giggling YOUNG DAUGHTER___, and a BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER___. On the other side of the mountain lived HANDSOME HARRY___. This young man drove his AUTOMOBILE___ over the mountains and carried mail to the BRUTAL MINER___.
One day, the TIRED WIFE___ was cleaning the house. The BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER___ was helping her. The YOUNG DAUGHTER___ was playing with the CAT___ on the steps and the LAZY SON___ was sleeping. The BRUTAL MINER___ came out and kicked the CAT___. The TIRED WIFE___ and the BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER___ rushed out with brooms and hit the BRUTAL MINER___, but this did not bother him. He grabbed the TIRED WIFE___ by one arm and the BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER___ by the other and shoved them into the house. The YOUNG DAUGHTER___ ran away with the CAT___.
Just then, HANDSOME HARRY___ drove up in his AUTOMOBILE___ and saw the BRUTAL MINER___ beating the TIRED WIFE___ and the BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER___. HANDSOME HARRY___ rushed to the rescue and grabbed the BRUTAL MINER___ and threw him down the mine shaft. The BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER___ flew into the waiting arms of HANDSOME HARRY___, while the TIRED WIFE___ and the YOUNG DAUGHTER___ watched with enthusiasm.
The LAZY SON___ slept on. HANDSOME HARRY___ took the BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER___ in his AUTOMOBILE___ to the little church in the wildwood and they lived happily every after.
