Hunters in the Snow again

"'You don't know how good it feels to hear you say that.'"

I though the ending events of the story were touching, funny, and ironic. The story unfolds as three idiots with guns wander the woods in a hopeless hunting effort. Tub shoots Kenney. One might think that Frank might be angry with Tub, but that is not the case. Frank and Tub share in a touching moment of openness. Frank reveals his secret love of a child. Tub reveals his nerve-racking task of leading a secretive double life as someone who is actually fat. These moments brought humor to the story. Ironic humor, though, was introduced with the situation of Kenney. Kenney lay in pain, wounded by his friend. Tub and Frank seem unconcerned and delightfully have some pancakes.
