Raining Stones
It would be funny if it didn't hurt so much.
Proud, though poor, Bob wants his little girl to have a beautiful (and costly) brand-new dress for her First Communion.

This tragic flaw leads him to risk all that he loves and values, his beloved family, indeed even his immortal soul and salvation, in blind pursuit of that goal.
