The story introduces readers to the lives of the Landholm family, focusing on the aspirations and daily struggles of two brothers, Winthrop and Rufus, as they work on their farm while longing for a life of greater opportunity.

The scene is set at their charming but modest farmhouse, highlighting the simplicity of their rural life. Winthrop, the younger brother, experiences a mishap with a local troublemaker, leading to playful banter and hints of conflict with his elder brother Rufus. The brothers share a deep bond, yet Rufus expresses a desire to escape the constraints of farm life through education, setting the stage for their ambitions to pursue a better future.
