SUMMERY
The text "This Is Jody's Faun," by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, emphasizes gratitude and compassion. Jody's compassionate effort to find and raise an orphaned cub is the focus of the text's story. When Jody's father, Penny, is bitten by a rattlesnake, they slaughter a doe and use its liver to remove the venom from his body as a home remedy, and the deer mother saves his life.
Jody felt bad about leaving her in the woods after her mother was killed. Jody wanted to talk to her father, Penny, about the cub because it was bothering her. He did so, stressing the importance of bringing the orphaned cub home, as he believed it would be ungrateful to leave the cub hungry and alone in the wild.
Joy's father understood his son's distress and allowed him to bring the fawn home. Jody then persuaded his mother to take the fawn home with them. Jody began his journey into the forest, with Mill-wheel's assistance, in quest of the fawn. Jody looked for the fawn for a long time and finally found it. He felt like the happiest person in the world and cuddled the fawn, carrying it in his arms and he joyously went home. Penny was happy to see his kid with the fawn. Jody then fed milk to the hungry fawn. Jody's gratitude and goodwill saved a life.
