Unit 6: This is Jody’s Fawn

Jody’s father was bitten by a rattlesnake.

When Jody’s father, Penny, was bitten by a rattlesnake, he quickly killed a doe and used its heart and liver to draw out the poison as a home remedy to save his life.

Jody is interested in bringing home the fawn because its mother was killed so that its organs – heart and liver – could be used to save his father’s life. However, when the fawn became an orphan, Jody felt guilty and did not want to leave the fawn alone and let it die from starvation. He wondered if he could bring the fawn to his home and offer some food to eat.

Jody’s father, Penny, had once told him that a male fawn has spots in a sequential line. This knowledge taught Jody how to distinguish between a male and a female fawn.
