The story revolves around a little house by an orchard where a happy family once lived. The narrator reminisces about the beautiful garden and the loving atmosphere that existed when their parents were present. However, things have changed, and the narrator no longer visits the place because strangers have taken over the orchard and the house, replacing the warmth and love of the family.
