Dick's aspirations for self-sufficiency and his rivalry with another boy named Ferd Graylock set the stage for adventures that test his character and resourcefulness. At the start of the tale, readers are introduced to the protagonist, Dick, as he encounters Ferd on a narrow road. A brief skirmish arises, illustrating the boys' long-standing rivalry. As Dick navigates his challenges—primarily the need to find work to help his mother—he reflects on his responsibilities and dreams of a better future.
