The book "Where the Red Fern Grows" is About a Boy named Billy who saves up his money to buy two hunting hounds. When he gets enough money he goes to town on foot to buy them, a girl and a boy. On the way back he sleeps in a cave as a mountain lion screeches as it get closer. Billy rebuilds the fire and the lion is scared away. Little Ann has the brains and Old Dan has the strength. He trains them to be hunting dogs and they become the best in the country only hunting together as 3. Billy later enters the dogs into a coon hunting competition and they win. One night they go after what Billy thought was a coon. Turns out it was a mountain lion. The dogs are determined to kill it and the lion wasn't going to give up. Luckily, Billy has an axe with him and he kills him after many tries. When the fight is over, Old Dan and Little Ann are beat up. Unfortunately Old Dan's injuries are too fierce and he dies the next day. Little Ann is so upset she stops eating and dies a week after. Billy buries them side by side overlooking the hunting forests and a year later his family decides to move into the city. When Billy goes out to say goodbye to his dogs, he finds a red fern growing between their graves along with wildlife flowers. The old tale of the red fern was that only an angel sent from heaven planted it.
