The Butcher (Ch41 / Q28)

This character is the character in the Red Fern because both "Prince Charlie" and the boy in the Reed Fern both love their animals dearly. "Prince Charlie" with his pony and the Red Fern with his dogs. In this chapter Beauty tells us about people and their horses. Some horses have bad masters but, like Beauty, some have very good masters, but still others don't even want to be bad to their horses. The Butcher's horse Beauty used to notice, always seemed to go unreasonable speeds. Beauty did not find out until one day they were sitting next to the butcher's shop when the butcher's cart came sprinting up and the boy jumped out to get the meat when the butcher came out and scolded him. Then the boy said that it wasn't his fault because the customers never had nay consideration. The Butcher definitely agreed.
