It is about a young boy named David, whose family had a farm, and their ancestor had sold off their 80-acre farm to a relative who did not have their best interest in mind.

Even different housing and holiday sites have shared the story connecting it to family and houses. The story is posted under the 'inspirational' sections of most websites.
