The Californian's Tale by Mark Twain

This story takes place in California in the aftermath of the 1849 Goldrush, and its about a character who is also the narrator, that he is walking on the zones where all the old abandoned cabins are and suddenly to his surprise he finds one on good conditions with people living on it.                                                                The owner of the cabin, Henry gives him a warm welcome, and the main character is pleased and happy of staying there.  Henry explains that the cabin was decorated by his wife who was returning the next saturday.                                                                  Even though the main character sometimes tries to leave the cabin, Henry convinces him to stay until saturday to receive his wife. When saturday arrived Henry, three of his friends and the main character were waiting for her, but when it gets late the three friends put Henry to sleep for him to suffer no more and explain the main character that his wife had been dead for 19 years.                                                                   I really liked this story because i did not expected the ending and it was impressive. The story was well written and it kept you interested.
