The short story, The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant", by W.D. Wethrell is about a 14 year-old-boy who is infatuated with a 17 year-old-girl named Sheila Mant. This boy, who is unquestionably obsessed with Sheila, finally acquires an exuberance amount of courage and asks her out. Shelia then agrees with his proposal to accompany her to the upcoming dance.
