This is Jody’s Fawn is written by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. It is about a human’s feeling towards an animal whose mother has been killed by his father.
Jody’s father is bitten by a rattlesnake. He quickly kills a doe and uses its heart and liver to draw outthe poison. Jody wonders what will happen to the little fawn left without its mother.Jody could not forget the incident. He loved the little fawn. His father, Penny lay in bed.
Jody enquired after his health. Penny said he had escaped death narrowly. He felt proud of his son for his help. He owed his life to the she deer or the doe whom he had killed to press out the snake poison in his body. Jody was worried about the little fawn. He wanted to find the fawn and bring it home. Penny allowed the boy to save the little animal. It would be ungrateful to leave the fawn to starve.
Doc Wilson also supported Jody. Jody decided to go to the forest with Mill-wheel in search of the fawn. He hoped to be back home for dinner. The two rode out. Jody had a vague idea of the place where his father had been bitten by the snake. The bushes there were thick. So he proposed to go on foot. The twigs under his feet creaked and broke the silence.
Suddenly he saw a large vulture like bird flying into the air. Soon he found that many birds were feeding on the dead body of the doe. He threw his stick at them to keep them away. The incident had occurred only 24 hours ago. He went round but did not find the fawn. Even the footprints on the grass had been washed away in the rain.
Just then he was startled to see the fawn lifting its face. It was shaking. Jody walked upto it and put his arms around its body. Its skin was soft and clean. It did not kick, nor bleat. He saved its face from the thorny plants. He picked it up and walked as fast as he could until he came to the intersection with the road home. When tired, he set it down and rested for a while.
He again carried it on his arms to some distance. Finally, he reached home and took the fawn into his father’s room. Penny was glad to see it. Jody gave it milk to drink. He dipped his fingers into the milk and let it suck. Then it drank off the last drop of milk. Jody was happy now.

दिस इज़ जॉडीज़ फॉन को मार्जोरी किन्नन रॉलिंग्स ने लिखा है। यह एक जानवर के प्रति एक इंसान की भावना के बारे में है जिसकी माँ को उसके पिता ने मार डाला है।
जोडी के पिता को रैटलस्नेक ने काट लिया है। वह तुरंत एक हिरणी को मार देता है और जहर निकालने के लिए उसके दिल और जिगर का उपयोग करता है। जॉडी को आश्चर्य होता है कि अपनी माँ के बिना छोड़े गए छोटे हिरण के बच्चे का क्या होगा। जॉडी इस घटना को भूल नहीं पाई। वह छोटे हिरन के बच्चे से प्यार करता था। उसके पिता पेनी बिस्तर पर लेटे हुए थे।
जॉडी ने उनके स्वास्थ्य के बारे में पूछताछ की। पेनी ने कहा कि वह मौत से बाल-बाल बच गये। उन्हें अपने बेटे की मदद पर गर्व महसूस हुआ। उसका जीवन उस हिरण या हिरणी के कारण था, जिसे उसने अपने शरीर में साँप का जहर दबाने के लिए मार डाला था। जोडी छोटे हिरन के बच्चे के बारे में चिंतित थी। वह हिरण के बच्चे को ढूंढकर घर लाना चाहता था। पेनी ने लड़के को छोटे जानवर को बचाने की अनुमति दी। हिरन के बच्चे को भूखा मरने के लिए छोड़ना कृतघ्नता होगी।
डॉक्टर विल्सन ने भी जोडी का समर्थन किया। जॉडी ने हिरन के बच्चे की तलाश में मिल-व्हील के साथ जंगल में जाने का फैसला किया। उसे रात के खाने के लिए घर वापस आने की उम्मीद थी। दोनों बाहर निकले। जोडी को उस जगह का अस्पष्ट अंदाज़ा था जहाँ उसके पिता को साँप ने काटा था। वहाँ झाड़ियाँ घनी थीं। इसलिए उन्होंने पैदल जाने का प्रस्ताव रखा. उसके पैरों के नीचे की टहनियाँ चरमराने लगीं और सन्नाटा टूट गया।
अचानक उसने एक बड़े गिद्ध जैसे पक्षी को हवा में उड़ते देखा। जल्द ही उसने पाया कि कई पक्षी हिरणी के मृत शरीर को खा रहे थे। उसने उन्हें दूर रखने के लिए उन पर अपनी छड़ी फेंकी। घटना 24 घंटे पहले ही हुई थी. वह चारों ओर घूमता रहा लेकिन हिरण का बच्चा नहीं मिला। यहां तक कि घास पर बने पैरों के निशान भी बारिश में धुल गए थे.
तभी वह हिरन के बच्चे को मुँह उठाये देख कर चौंक गया। यह हिल रहा था. जोडी उसके पास गया और उसके शरीर के चारों ओर अपनी बाहें डाल दीं। इसकी त्वचा मुलायम और साफ थी. उसने न तो लात मारी, न ही मिमियाया। उसने कंटीले पौधों से उसकी रक्षा की। उसने उसे उठाया और जितनी तेजी से चल सकता था चला, जब तक कि वह घर के रास्ते वाले चौराहे पर नहीं आ गया। थक जाने पर उसने इसे नीचे रख दिया और कुछ देर आराम किया।
वह उसे फिर से अपनी बांहों पर उठाकर कुछ दूरी तक ले गया। अंत में, वह घर पहुंचा और हिरन के बच्चे को अपने पिता के कमरे में ले गया। पेनी यह देखकर खुश हुई। जोडी ने उसे पीने के लिए दूध दिया। उसने अपनी उंगलियाँ दूध में डुबोईं और उसे चूसने दिया। फिर उसने दूध की आखिरी बूंद भी पी ली। जोडी अब खुश थी।
