Answer:
In this story, Jody's father is bitten by a rattlesnake. He quickly kills a doe and uses its heart and liver to draw out the poison. ... He owed his life to she deer or the doe whom he had killed to press out the snake poison in his bodyThe story revolves around the theme of gratitude and kindness. Even though Jody was not allowed to go in search of the fawn initially, his kind heart longed for the comfort of the fawn. It was this yearning that compelled him to take up the journey. When Jody met the fawn, it was afraid and weak.Jody's father, Mr. Baxter, had been bitten by a rattle snake. To cure himself he killed a doe and used its heart and liver to suck out the venom from his wound. The next morning he felt much better but his son, Jody, felt bad to have left the doe's fawn all alone in the forest. He could not keep in his bed thinking of what all difficulties the fawn might have to face. Further, he had already started to feel an attachment to the fawn. He went to his father and reasoned with him the need to bring the fawn to the safety of their home. His father finally allowed him to go on a search for the fawn. Jody's mother though gave her consent, feared for her son's safety in the forest. Doc Wilson and Mill-wheel also approved considering that they had already left the fawn motherless. Jody went with Mill-wheel on his horse assuring his mother to reach home by dinner. After sometime they reached closer to the place where his father was bitten. Jody wanted go on further all alone because he didn't want Mill-wheel to see his disappointment if they failed in finding the fawn. Contrarily, if he found the fawn, he wanted to experience the joy of it all alone as he felt that their meeting would be intense, full of emotion and thus, personal. Thus, assuring Mill-wheel of his knowledge of directions and his ability to take care of himself, he bid him farewell. When Jody reached the spot where his father was bitten, he found buzzards hovering over the carcass of the dead doe. He also found footprints of cats and for a moment he feared for the life of the fawn. After an intense search he finally found the fawn behind a bush. Jody noticed that the fawn was quivering and was distrustful. He tried to calm the fawn and tried to establish some kind of understanding with him. However, though the fawn allowed the proximity of Jody, he did not move. Jody then decided to carry the fawn all the way home. He first patted the fawn and then lightly lifted him. He went around the area where his father was bitten and where lay the carcass of the fawn's mother, fearing that the scent of his mother would make the fawn restless. He had to stop often for breaks as himself being little he was severely struggling with the weight of the fawn and the vines and bushes that lay on his path. Though, Jody's arms had started hurting, he carried on his journey. He even managed to win the fawn's trust, who gradually grew willing to follow him. After a point, Jody felt such a grand connection with the fawn that all the struggle and pain he was going through no longer mattered. By and by they reached their destination. The fawn refused to go upstairs, probably sensing the presence of his mother's killer, but Jody carried him to his father who expressed joy at seeing the fawn. Later, Jody lovingly fed him milk in the kitchen and enjoyed the fawn's trust and love for him...
