This story is called Farmer Boy.  It is about a boy named Almanzo who is a farmer and so is his dad and proves that a life of a farmer is not an  easy one. He makes many decisions and even wins a prize pumpkin.  He is boy that has his whole heart into farming just like his dad and works hard and learns how to do many new things.  He proves to his father that he's responsible and capable of teaching the baby colts.  This is a heart-warming book that really has a good moral, "You have to work hard at something if you want a good result".
