The Introduction:
   The story was talking about a bagman who needed to live in a widow's house because of the rain. At the night he met with a spirit who said that he was a guardian.The spirit teached the trick to marry with the pretty widow and the bagman named Tom Smart used it succesfully. At the end, the bagman lived with the widow together and had a wonderful ending.

Impression:
   After reading the story, althought it was just a story, i wasnt agree with the writer because the spirit wasnt a real thing in the real world. It was too amazing that the main charecter can marriy with a wodow in 2 days. Beside that, the trick that he used to marry with the wodow was just a simple letter... So, i didnt like the story very much, i think that i shall call the story "A Lucky Man".
