Handlung
Die Geschichte spielt zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts in einer ländlichen Gegend im späteren US-Bundesstaat Oklahoma: Eines Tages kehrt Will Parker in seine Heimat zurück und erzählt im Dorf, was er so alles in der Großstadt gesehen hat: Da soll es zum Beispiel sehr hohe Häuser geben, die man Wolkenkratzer nennt, und ein Ding namens Telefon, mit dem man sich mit weit entfernt lebenden Personen unterhalten kann. Die meisten Dorfbewohner glauben ihm nicht; sie halten ihn für einen Angeber. Nur das Mädchen Ado Annie hört ihm gebannt zu.
