Fred Craddock tells a story set in the rural South during the Depression. A father is walking along the side of his house, well, it is more like a shack. He hears his two daughters on the back porch and they're laughing loudly, shrieking with joy and glee. He decides to investigate. On the old back porch on the old wooden steps are his two daughters looking through a Sears Roebuck Catalog. In that they see all of the beautiful clothes, all the bright colors, all the beautiful garments. They are laughing. The father comes up to the children and jerks the book away from them.
