A young man looks forward to Succos, the Jewish religious festival known in English as the Feast of Booths or Feast of Tabernacles.
Although he attends yeshivah, his family has no succah of their own. In the early 1970s there were many frum (religiously observant) Jews who did not "yet" have their own succah.
People made due with the synagogue's succah. The young man and his family were one of those families. The young man asks his parents if this year they could have their own succah. His parents tell him they can't afford one.
It's the Shabbos (Sabbath) before Succos. Hat evening, with less than 24 hours before Succos, the young man sits silently dreaming about a succah to call his own.
Suddenly his parents tell him, "Friends just called. They have the frame of their old succah and you can have it."
