Question

He remembered his father saying that a fawn would follow if it had first been carried. He started away slowly.

The fawn stared after him. He came back to it and stroked it and walked away again. It took a few wobbling

steps toward him and cried piteously. It was willing to follow him. It belonged to him. It was his own. He was

light-headed with his joy. He wanted to fondle it, to run and romp with it, to call to it to come to him. He dared

not alarm it. He picked it up and carried it in front of him over his two arms. It seemed to him that he walked

without effort.
