The narrator tells us that for many years he thought of buying a farm in the Concord countryside. He considered many sites and even exercised his Yankee shrewdness by haggling over the price with several farmers. But he followed his own advice, as expressed in "Economy," and avoided purchasing a farm because it would inevitably tie him down financially and complicate his life. Besides, he reasoned, why did he need to own a farm? All that is of real value to the individual in living on a farm — close, personal contact with the spiritually invigorating influences of nature — can be had for nothing.

The story is about a boy whose only tie to his father was taken away from him towards the end of the story because of the effects of modernization.

The technology shift in this story is represented by the camera crew and the technicians who only wanted to witness the fathers’ gift for their movie. The camera crew, technicians and farmer did not have any personal ties to this gift. The gift that the father passed on to his son, the narrator, was meant to be a bond shared between only father and son.
