In spite of the somewhat cutesy premise, the story offers a fairly realistic picture of the move from horse-drawn to mechanized farm work. With the advent of a motor driven tractor which didn't need to be fed, cooled, or covered in the rain, and which could work without a rest, suddenly horses were excess mouths to feed on working farms across the United States. Thomas' decision isn't made lightly, in spite of his age. ( )
