The storm was finally going to end. They were sitting in the cold for hours, plus the team had no clue on where the pups were. That is when they heard a whoop and realized it was a search party looking for them. After a couple of whoops back and forth the search party found them, when they got there they made sure nobody was hurt except for Billy's Grandpa who had a pretty nasty sprained ankle. When the last person came he described how there were these pups that looked like ghosts because of how frozen they were. That made Billy cry because Billy thought that he said they were frozen solid but he just misunderstood. When they got the pups they went straight to the fire to thaw them out, as soon as they were all toasty they went back to the tree. After Billy's papa shot the coon the pups killed it. Then brought it back to the fire to skin it. Once they got to camp some people brought a box full of money to give to him because he had won! When his Grandpa saw that he went into tears and congratulated him.

Where the red Fern grows
A storm was stirring. And it was going to be a bad one. They got together with the judge, Billy's Grandpa, Billy's papa, Billy, Old Dan, and Little Ann. A few hours in the hunt the storm had gotten a whole lot worse. When the storm got too bad the adults wanted to head back, but he didn't because his dogs were missing. They searched and searched but couldn't find them, that is when he prayed and got an idea, asked his papa to shoot because Little Ann is gun shy. After they found Old dan they went looking for his Grandpa. When they found him they got a fire going and went to the tree where they found Old Dan, they killed 2 coon but the third one got away.

Last chapter old Dan had gotten himself into a pickle quite a few times, but this time it was different, little Ann this time. While they were hunting for a few hours the pups started at a coon. It was snowy, slick and a coon could play some nasty and even fatal tricks. When little Ann tried jumping the lake it was not good enough. She had fallen in the lake and was holding on for dear life. When he found her she was still holding on. Once he got her by fishing her collar with a hook and got her home she was alright. The next day he got a nasty cold.

Where the red Fern grows chap 10
Little Ann was very small, you couldn't tell her from a coon if she didn't have floppy ears. On the other hand old Dan was average, but super muscley. Both of them would never leave his side even when he had to go sell his hides at his grandpa's store, he would try to get past them and he could do it, ever so often. There's a few times where there were a couple struggles with old Dan like when he got stuck in a tree and in a muskrat hole. Overall he loved hunting and he would mostly go every night.

He was so sore from chopping the tree that he had almost given up! That was until his grandpa came with a buggy with a helpful tip. He thought of making a scarecrow! Once they were done with the scarecrow they went to go have dinner. The next day while he was having breakfast his father said he kept hearing barking. So he raced to the tree, once he got there he saw that both of his pups were there keeping watch of the tree. He thought that the scarecrow was kind of useless as he chuckled. So he went to go get his ax and when he came back he was going to give that tree a piece of his mind. After about late noon or the evening he could not do it anymore, he had swung too much. With the only thing he could think of he asked God to give him strength he needed, there was a gust of wind! The next thing he knew the tree was on the ground and his pups had killed the coon. he went back to his house and showed his parents and his sisters the prize with the proudest smile any boy could ever have.
