Something very bad happened to the little fawn, but it wasn't his fault, nor was it his mama's fault. It was really the fault of the armadillo but he didn't mean to. All he was doing was making a safe place to sleep, and maybe he?d find something to eat at the same time. What happened after the bad part was a good part that saved Whitetail's life, but it made a hard job for a couple of city girls. It turned out that they didn't mind, even though they had to dress up in funny clothes to do it. They also learned that there is generally a reason for rules, or there wouldn't be any!
