Jody's Father and Jody Talking
Pa, I'm a big boy now and don't need to drink milk. Why don't I go and see if I can find the fawn? And bring it here? And raise it.
Surely it seems ungrateful to leave it to starve. Son, I can't say 'No' to you. I never thought I'd live to see another day.

"Well, for pity sake---"
The fawn belonging to the doe we killed. We used the doe's liver to draw out the poison and save Pa.
He can ride back with me. I'll help him find it.
That's right, Ma'am. Nothing in the world comes quiet free. The boy's right and his daddy's right.
