Elly smiled "Know Enos. . .Cooter told me the other day that Roscoe said Lady is about big enough for you to have her. . .Oh and I have this little kitten here. . .that is if you want her."
Enos gently rubbed her arm and patted it every little bit "Don't worry Daisy." he said just when Doc came in saying that Cooter and Elly were there to see him.
"Love doesn't hate and it's not pridefull . . .surely Uncle Jesse has told you that a million times Daisy. . .you just have to take my word for it." he said.
Enos looked away slightly ashamed "I do Daisy. . .Take a look for yourself." Daisy gulped and slowly lifed back the blanket. True as Enos had said. . .he only had one leg and a bit of the other. Daisy let the tears fall.
So the next morning as Daisy was up earlier than the boys. She came down and saw Aunt Bee at the kitche and so she asked "Hey, Aunt Bee. . .know has Andy ever met anyone named Enos Strate?"
Enos nodded "I know, but there's something that doc didn't tell you. . .I. . .lost one of my legs." Daisy gasped "Enos no." Enos took her hand "I'm so sorry Daisy."
Enos nodded "I know you did. I'm so sorry Daisy. I'm supposed. . .to. . .take care. . .of you. . .and the kids. . .Now you'll have to take care of me. . .I never wanted that to. . .happen. . .even though. . .I know you can."
Enos smiled and hugged her close "And you're the only girl I ever loved." Just then Cherry woke up and began crying. "Correction" Enos added "only other."
Enos was now surpprised "Daisy it's all right. I don't hate you. In fact I had a little thought of marrying some girl myself, but I thought better of it when she cheated on me one night."
