Solution I - 1
Jody did not want to scare the fawn away. That is why he first stroked its neck slowly, and then put his arms around it. Then, he picked it up and carried it through the thick bushes. He tried to shield its face from the sharp vines. He stopped to rest on his way home. On walking a little, he saw the fawn following him. After this, he would either carry the fawn, or put it down so that it would follow him by itself. When they reached home, it refused to climb the stairs. He then picked it up and took it inside the house.
Solution I - 2

His heart thumped with the marvel of its acceptance of him .When he realised that it was his fawn now, he was 'light- headed with his joy'. When he finally brought the fawn into the house, Penny thought that" the boy's eyes were as bright as the fawn's".
Solution I - 3
Jody skimmed the cream into a jug and poured the milk into a small gourd. When Jody gave the milk to the fawn in the gourd, it butted it suddenly, smelling the milk and not knowing what to do with it. Jody saved it from spilling precariously over the floor. It was then that Jody dipped his fingers in the milk and pushed them into the fawn's soft wet mouth so that it would drink the milk. It sucked greedily. When Jody withdrew his fingers it bleated frantically and butted him. He dipped his fingers again and as the fawn sucked he lowered them slowly into the milk. As long as he held his fingers below the level of the milk the fawn was content. The last of the milk soon vanished in a swirl of foam and gurgling.
Solution I - 4
The deer is a wild animal. It is used to a life 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.
