Set in the year 2155, when children learn individually at home using a mechanical teacher (robotic teacher), the story tells of an eleven-year-old Margie Jones, whose neighbor Tommy finds a real book in the attic of his house. This makes Margie reminded of the words that her grandfather used to tell about the earlier school days. The book tells about a time when children use to learn in a group of the same age of students in large schools that were not merely designated rooms in private houses as in the year 2155. Margie and Tommy discuss what it must have been like to study together with a real person as a teacher, and though at first Margie is skeptical about the notion, by the end of the story she daydreams while sitting on the chair before the mechanical teacher about what it must have been like for “The fun they had”.
