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