This is [[The Oldest Ones in the Book|such an old trope]] it's [[Dead Horse Trope|died]] and [[Undead Horse Trope|been reborn]] several times already,<ref>(well, who better to keep a horse in good condition than a farmer?)</ref> and there are a few traditional ways for the story to pan out. Generally, the kid will either go from [[Rags to Riches]] (or even all the way [[Rags to Royalty|to Royalty]]), or he'll reject the strange new world he's saved and [[But Now I Must Go|return home]] to accept the [[Call to Agriculture]].
As [[David Eddings]] (a major user of this trope) explained in ''[[The Rivan Codex]]'', it is a good way to explain how your fantasy world works within the context of the story. The reader [[Audience Surrogate|learns the rules along with the main character]].
