Soon the men began to gather, surveying their own
children, speaking of planting and rain, tractors and
taxes. They stood together, away from the pile of stones
in the corner, and their jokes were quiet and they smiled
rather than laughed. The women, wearing faded house
dresses and sweaters, came shortly after their menfolk.
They greeted one another and exchanged bits of gossip as
they went to join their husbands.
-"The Lottery,"
