2. Pa wanted to express that it was surely a narrow escape from the clutches of death. He could luckily find the cure; or else he would have lost his life.

3. When his father was not in good health, Jody behaved very responsibly. He stayed calm in that difficult situation and did his best to save his father’s life.

4. Pa could not forget the doe because its life had been taken away to save his life.
