She was incredibly fit, he noticed, for being wheelchair bound. They spoke for a few minutes, really hit it off, and made plans for later that evening. When John arrived at her house that evening, he was greeted at the door by her father. A mountain of a man, the girl's father wanted to ensure John treated her right. "Son, I'm sure you've noticed that Karen's handicapped," he continued, "and although she's strong, I'd like you to keep in mind that she's still a lady, and should be treated as such." John nodded to show his deference, and helped Karen into his car. They decided to take a romantic walk through the park. The sunset was gorgeous, the geese cooed and cuddled in small groups, and the night felt abuzz with newfound love. "John," Karen spoke softly,"I want you to make love to me." John was elated. He'd never been with anyone nearly as beautiful as Karen. But there was a question that had to be asked. "How would we... you know?..." he asked coyly. Karen blushed and said,"Well, you are wearing a belt. You could place it under my arms and buckle it around a tree, to make sure I don't fall." John agreed, and complied with her wishes, all the while taking great care to support her delicate frame, and the two made love in the moonlight. When John took Karen home from their romantic night, he was once again greeted by her father, who offered John a hundred dollar bill. Confused, John protested that he didn't want payment for dating Karen, as she was the girl of his dreams. This continued for weeks; the two went out every night to the park, made love in the woods, and every night the father offered John a hundred dollar bill in gratitude. One night, John had enough. He stopped the father from reaching for his wallet and said sternly,"Sir, I don't want to be paid for dating your daughter. She's the most wonderful girl I've ever met, and I plan to marry her! Why do you continually try to pay me anyhow?" The father looked at John and replied,"Because the last guy she dated left her tied up to that tree."
