The story follows a young boy who has been placed in his third foster home, which is his first in the 'big city.' Initially excited by the city's amenities like arcades and convenience stores, he questions his grandfather about why he chooses to remain on the reserve. The grandfather responds by taking the boy on a cold, early morning trip to the bush. There, the boy experiences the deep quiet and natural beauty, encountering white-tailed deer and people ice fishing. This experience helps him realize the value of the wilderness and his heritage, leading him to conclude that while the city is 'all right,' there is 'nothing much to do there.'
