Answer:

Question 3:

How did Jody look after the fawn, after he accepted the responsibility for doing this?

Solution:

After Jody accepted the responsibility for looking after the fawn, he cared for it like its own

mother would. When he first found it he reached out one hand and laid it on its soft neck. He

then put both his arms around its body. While taking it home, he shielded its face from the

sharp vines. He carried it in his arms most of the way even though he was tired. On reaching

home, he gave it the milk that was meant for him. When he saw that the fawn did not drink the

milk kept in the gourd, he fed it with his own hands. Hence, one can say that Jody carried out

his responsibility quite well.

Question 4:

How does Jody’s mother react when she hears that he is going to bring the fawn home?

Why does she react in this way?

Solution:

When Jody's mother heard that he was going to bring the fawn home, she was a little surprised

and asked Jody what fawn he was talking about. He then told her that it was the fawn whose

mother they had killed to save his father. She gasped and was not to happy with the idea. She

helplessly informed him that they had nothing else to feed it and so he would have to sacrifice

the milk they gave him for the fawn.

She reacted this way because she was not present at the site where Penny had been bitten,

where they had killed the doe. She had not seen the fawn and therefore, was not as concerned

as Penny and Jody. Besides they did not have too many things to feed the fawn on in their home

and she may have been worried about how she would feed the fawn.
