Margie Jones is an eleven-year-old girl in the year 2157. Her friend Tommy, who is thirteen, has found an old-fashioned book, with pages that always say the same thing, unlike the computer screens she is used to. Tommy tells her that in the old days, teachers were not computerized instruction machines, like she is used to, but were humans who would teach students by telling them things. Tommy further explains that in the old days, students were not taught in their homes, but gathered together in special buildings called schools where the human teachers would teach groups of students all at once.

Later, as Margie sits in front of her teacher and listens to it talk about fractions, she thinks about how much children in the old days must have loved going to school, and about the fun they had.
