The story.
A New England farmer packs his ox cart with everything his family has made and grown over the course of a year - honey, wool, candles, potatoes - and walks it to market in Portsmouth to sell. After selling everything, even the ox and cart, he walks home with coins and supplies to begin the cycle of seasons and work all over again.
