The Chapter starts out with Little Tree calculating his total losses in his dealings with the Christian. Since He paid 50 cents for the calf that he bought, and Granma paid Little Tree 10 cents for the hide, he had lost 40 cents. After some moonshine deliveries, he was making money again. Since Little Tree had to learn five words a week out of the dictionary, one word was misunderstood by Granpa and proved to be a bit …showed first 75 words of 931 total…

…showed last 75 words of 931 total…and Granpa said it was his fault that he didn't guess that he would do something like this. He said that once, he saw a sharecropper take a nice catalog from his kids and burned it and then cried. Granpa understood them and wasn't mad. Little Tree put the moccasins away because when he looked at them, he was reminded of the little girl. He never saw them again and figured that they moved on.
