Unit 6: This is Jody’s Fawn

Jody was unwilling to have Mill-wheel with him for two reasons. Firstly, if the fawn was dead or could not be found, he did not want Mill-wheel to see his disappointment. Secondly, if the fawn was alive, the meeting would be so lovely and secret that he could not endure sharing it with anyone.

Jody was not so familiar with the forest route. So Mill-wheel was afraid to leave Jody alone as he felt the young boy might get lost in the woods or might even get bitten by a rattlesnake like Penny.
