This is Jody’s Fawn- Summary
The lesson “This is Jody’s Fawn” begins with Jody being unable to keep the fawn out of his mind. He expresses his concern to his father, Penny who was resting as he had just been saved from death. He was bitten by a snake and Jody killed a doe to use its heart and liver to extract poison out of his father. The doe had a fawn and Jody was worried about it. He wanted to bring it home and raise it. Penny thought it would be ungrateful of them to leave the fawn to starve and thus, he agreed. Next, Jody convinces his mother about the same, who at first is reluctant but on hearing the views of Mill-wheel and Doc Wilson, agrees to let Jody bring it home. She was okay with it if Jody would give it his share of milk as they had nothing else to feed the fawn. Mill-wheel gave Jody a ride on his horse and suddenly Jody realised he did not want company. He did not want anyone to see his disappointment if he was unable to find the fawn and on the other hand, he did not want to share his loving moment on finding it either. Thus, he sent Mill-wheel away. He begins searching for the fawn and sees a group of buzzards near the killed doe who he scares away by throwing a bough. He continues searching and finally finds the fawn looking at him with his bright eyes. At first, Jody hesitated to go near him and only extended a hand to caress him but it was only when the fawn brought itself near him, he carried it. He carried it through the clearing and reached the intersection road towards home. He kept it down to take rest but the fawn cried. He remembered that his father told him that a fawn will follow you once you carry it first for a while. On the way home, he carried it for some time and let it follow him for a while. They finally reached home and Jody wanted to show his father that the fawn followed him but the fawn refused to climb the stairs. He carried it up the steps and his father could see Jody’s happiness through his bright eyes. Jody then took it to the kitchen to feed it his share of milk. He fed it the milk patiently till the gourd was left empty.
