Where the Red Fern Grows: Week 2
Monday:Billy goes to get his dogs from town by himself. After being bullied when arriving in town, he gets picked on even more after he gets his dogs. Some kids beat him up and run away after the marshal comes.
Tuesday:After having his first strawberry pop, he goes home proudly with his new puppies. He gives his family the presents he bought in town with his left over cash.
Wednesday:He immediately starts to train his dogs to hunt coons. The first thing he does is make a collar for them and writes their names, "Old Dan", and "Little Ann" from the names he saw carved in a tree on his way home from town.
Thursday:His grandfather gives him tips for catching coons. Billy goes through with the plans. After weeks of anticipation, Billy was about to give up just when he went to check to see if he caught a coon. To his surprise, he got one.
Friday:His whole family comes to watch Papa kill the coon after the dogs beat him down a little in a rough quarrel. Billy's mom made him his first coon hat with his first coon hide.
