Down, down the mountain

Hardcover (T. Nelson March 15, 1967) , Book Club (BCE/BOMC) edition
Hetty and Hank live in a small cabin in the mountains and although cozy, they are poor and have never owned a pair of shoes. They each wanted a beautiful shining pair that sang, 'Creaky-squeaky-creaky-squeaky' every time they walked. However, Mammy and Pappy give them reasons they cannot have them, such as, "You can't find shoes like that in these hills" and "We've everything we need right here in these hills." So they go to Granny who gives them an idea to plant turnip seeds and when they grow into "fine big turnips" they can take them down down the mountain to town to sell for a pair of shoes. So that is just what Hetty and Hank do.
