Then he becomes a hero in a big flood, is rewarded with a nice farm in the hills. But come summer, the Pennys start complaining- even the clock "ain't been ticking natural" -and sneak back happily to the storms, floods, fever, gyp salesmen, rousing revival meetings, fighting and good catfishing at Beaver Slough...
