Jasmine.“Look at her eyes! And hasn’t she got the most gorgeous coat?”
The little deer was incredibly beautiful. She had huge dark almond-shaped eyes in a delicate face, with a shiny black nose and large fluffy ears. Her neck and legs were covered in light-brown fur and her back was dark brown with wobbly rows of white spots.
“She looks like someone’s dotted white paint all along her back,” said Jasmine. “I’m going to call her Dotty.”
“Dotty the deer,” said Dad.“Nice.”
Dotty’s eyes were fixed on Jasmine. She put out her little pink tongue and licked Jasmine’s hand.
“Look!” exclaimed Jasmine.“She likes me!”
She kissed the little deer on the top of her furry brown head and gently laid her in the bottom oven.
“You rest there,” she said, “and I’ll get your colostrum ready.”
