Back from a stint in Arizona, a man gets into a discussion with his drinking buddies about the nature of bravery. Is it instinctual or is it conditioning? To illustrate, the Arizona man tells a story of love, where a woman’s husband and another who loves her trek out to the desert in search of gold. The husband is a boor, and jeopardizes their lives as well. And yet, the other man saves his life (instinctively!). And in a preview of many other stories, at the end his buddies figure out the Arizona man is telling a story about himself. ( )
