Question

Why didn’t the fawn follow Jody up the steps as he had thought it would?

Short/Brief Note
Advertisements

Solution

The deer is a wild animal. It is used to live in the forest. When the fawn reached Jody’s home, it did not follow Jody up the steps because of the strangeness of the house and the steps and everything. This is similar to its reaction to the milk in the gourd. It simply did not know what to do.
