Q8: What did Jody see after walking a few steps alone?
Ans: Jody walked alone into the jungle of tall pine trees. He only heard the crackling of twigs and wondered if he was lost. After walking a few steps, he saw that buzzards were all over the doe's carcass which hissed at him. Jody parted the grass to find the fawn where he had seen him last, but unfortunately, it was not there. He did not find any footprint of the fawn too as the rain had washed them away.

Q9: Did Jody find the fawn?
Ans: Jody found the fawn somewhere in the jungle. It had first approached backward and lifted its face to his and turned its head with big, wondering motions that shook Jody through the stare of its liquid eyes. The dawn was shivering but it did not made any effort to run. Jody did not move too initially and later he whispered “it’s me” to the fawn. The fawn scented Jody and then Jody rubbed one hand on its soft neck and pampered it gently.

Q10: What does Jody remember about the fawn that his father had told him?
Ans: Jody remembered that when he was tired, he rested for a while, and had put the fawn down. He remembered that his father had told him about the fawn that once the fawn is carried, it follows the human. After resting for a while, Jody started walking slowly and saw that the fawn was following him too. He would sometime pick it up for a while, and then put it down for him to follow Jody. Finally, as both of them reached Jody’s house, the fawn refused to climb up the steps, so Jody picked it up and brought it to his father.
