The story centers around a group of rural characters in Finland, particularly focusing on Risto Kölli, who returns from abroad to share his experiences and insights on work ethics, savings, and financial responsibility with his family and neighbors. The book captures the essence of rural life and the societal changes influenced by modern economic practices. At the start of the narrative, the setting is established on a summer evening in a rural Finnish village, where the mood is lively due to the successful hay harvest and the arrival of Risto Kölli from America. The community gathers, excited to hear about Risto's adventures and the lessons he's learned during his travels. As he shares his experiences, Risto emphasizes the importance of hard work and saving money, critiquing the slow work habits of his fellow villagers compared to what he's observed abroad. He discusses the potential of utilizing natural resources like berries and mushrooms for economic gain and introduces the concept of life insurance as a means of securing financial stability for families.
