Summary: Two young men sit at a table inside a rough shack and share a meal. Pots and pans are on the tablecloth which covers the makeshift table, and glass jars hold assorted foodstuff. A box of kitchen matches is at the edge of the table, under a cubbyhole built into the framing of the wall. The young men sit at the table in overalls and work shirts. A rifle is leaned up against the far wall, and what appear to be bits of clothing are piled loosely against another section of the unfinished interior.
